Abstract: Molecular biology is a fundamental course for medical undergraduates. To enhance teaching quality and provide more resources for international medical students, we developed virtual simulation experiments for a molecular biology course and implemented them for international medical students at Xi'an Jiaotong University Health Science Center, following actual hands-on experiments. To evaluate the effectiveness of the combined virtual and real teaching approaches, we analyzed anonymous student questionnaires and final examination scores. Student feedback revealed that most international students were satisfied with this combined teaching method, which effectively cultivated their experimental skills and improved the overall effectiveness of practical teaching. Furthermore, this approach led to improvements in international students' final examination scores. Our experience combining virtual and hands-on learning in molecular biology courses may serve as a valuable reference for other educators.
