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.
Time frame: Immediately after training
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.
Time frame: Immediately before and immediately after training
Participant Satisfaction
Participant satisfaction measured using a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
Time frame: Immediately after training
Usability (UEQ-S)
Usability assessed using the User Experience Questionnaire-Short Version (UEQ-S). Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating a more positive user experience.
Time frame: Immediately after training
