摘要

Graduate mental health education integrates theory with experiential learning to prepare students for clinical challenges. Practicums and internships at advanced levels are vital for skill development. Emerging technologies like virtual reality (VR) and simulation platforms enhance experiential learning, bridging classroom theory with practice. These tools improve learning outcomes and skill retention but face challenges such as high costs, resistance, and faculty training needs. This commentary examines barriers and proposes solutions for incorporating technology to strengthen experiential learning and evidence-based practice (EBP). It highlights how innovations develop critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making, equipping graduates to deliver quality mental health care.
