Prehospital Provider Training With Augmented Reality (AR)

Prehospital Provider Training Using Augmented Reality Simulation: A Mixed-Methods Study

The goal is to evaluate the acceptance of Augmented Reality (AR) simulation as a learning modality for prehospital providers. The simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices for simulation delivery and design as well as prior literature on simulation training for prehospital providers; the focus of this study is the participants' experiential interaction with AR and the simulation resources.
