Due to technological advancements, the metaverse has become a frequently discussed topic. In the educational field, there is an increasing focus on clinical skills training through the use of the meta-universe. This paper aims to investigate the present status, methodologies, outcomes, and future prospects of clinical skills training that utilise the meta-universe. Through systematic searching, screening of relevant literature, and comprehensive analysis of included studies, we have discovered that meta-universe-based clinical skills training offers numerous benefits, including improved learning outcomes, enhanced student interest and reduced costs. However, there are also several challenges associated with this approach, including a high technological threshold and a lack of unified standards and evaluation systems. Future research should focus on exploring the effective application of metaverse technology in clinical skills training while maintaining objectivity. It is important to use clear and concise language, avoiding unnecessary terminology, and ensuring a logical flow of information with causal connections between statements. Additionally, consistent formats and conventional structures should be followed, including common academic sections. Language should be clear, objective and value-neutral, avoiding biased or emotional language and sticking to common sentence structures. Grammatical correctness and precise word choice are also essential. Finally, it is important to maintain a formal register, avoiding colloquialisms, contractions, informal expressions, and unnecessary jargon.
