To address the challenges of high risk, high cost, and poor reproducibility in veterinary pharmacology education, a novel teaching model was developed using “AI + Virtual Simulation” technology. The approach constructs high-fidelity drug-action scenarios through virtual simulation, integrates artificial intelligence to enable personalized instruction, and forms an intelligent teaching loop of “perception–decision–verification–reflection.” Taking “Acute Bacterial Enteritis in Puppies” as an example, a virtual teaching case based on the “D–N–A” three stage progressive model was designed, and a comprehensive smart evaluation system was implemented. The results demonstrate that virtual simulation effectively creates an immersive learning environment and visualizes drug metabolism processes; artificial intelligence supports personalized teaching through functions such as intelligent case generation and drug effect simulation; the new teaching model significantly enhances students’ clinical decision making ability and practical skills. These findings indicate that the “AI + Virtual Simulation” model can effectively overcome the limitations of traditional teaching and provides a feasible approach for cultivating practice oriented veterinary professionals.
