Abstract: Immersive virtual reality technology can be used for simulation operation of instruments and virtual warnings of accidents in pharmaceutical experiments. It offers many benefits such as materializing abstract concepts and providing human-machine interaction. Deep integration of immersive virtual reality technology and pharmaceutical experimental teaching reflects the application of science & technology and information in the section of higher medical education. This paper summarizes the drawbacks and difficulties in traditional pharmaceutical experimental teaching, elaborating on the specific application of immersive virtual reality technology in pharmaceutical experimental teaching, the challenges faced in the application and the corresponding countermeasures. The paper also looks forward to the application prospect of immersive virtual reality technology with the aim of improving the effectiveness of pharmaceutical experimental teaching in medical colleges as well as cultivating the practical abilities and innovative spirit of pharmaceutical talents.
