This study is a two-arm parallel randomized controlled non-inferiority trial designed to compare the educational effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-based simulation with high-fidelity simulation (HFS) for emergency management training in medical interns.
Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either VR-based training or HFS-based training for managing desaturation and anaphylaxis scenarios. After training and structured debriefing, all participants will undergo objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) and complete pre- and post-training surveys.
The primary outcome is OSCE performance score. Secondary outcomes include confidence improvement, participant satisfaction, usability (UEQ-S).

| OSCE Performance Score | Mean total score of two Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) stations (desaturation and anaphylaxis). Scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating better clinical performance. | Immediately after training |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Confidence Improvement | Self-reported confidence in emergency management measured using a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater confidence. | Immediately before and immediately after training |
| Participant Satisfaction |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Task Completion Time | Time required to complete VR emergency scenarios, measured in seconds. | Immediately after training |
| Critical Action Completion Rate | Percentage of predefined critical actions successfully completed during VR scenarios. |
