ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of simulated fractional curettage training for obstetrics and gynecology residents, identify key perioperative deficiencies, and propose optimization strategies for clinical skill education. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 36 residents who completed standardized simulated fractional curettage training and assessment from June 2021 to June 2025, with 47 assessment records included. Ten perioperative indicators were scored quantitatively. Residents failing the initial assessment received individualized remedial training and one reassessment. Results: The highest failure rates were humanistic patient care (36.2%) and standardized aseptic technique (29.8%). Failure rates for all other items were below 13%. Conclusion: Simulated fractional curettage training significantly improves residents’ clinical skills and reasoning. Optimizing curricula, strengthening teaching faculty, and integrating VR/AR/AI can further enhance training quality.
