![]() ![]() ![]() Meaningful learning is a prerequisite for transfer of learning to occur. This training setting should enable transfer of learning: the application of competencies acquired in medical training into the professional workplace. Excellence in the professional context therefore requires an appropriate preparation of the trainee in a dedicated training setting. The complexity of the work environment may also be daunting for the trainee. However, learning in workplace settings is sometimes too risky, difficult to organize, time-consuming and/or expensive. Learning in the medical domain is to a large extent workplace learning, from undergraduate clerkships to postgraduate residency training. This requires ample opportunity to practice and the ability to experience all possible variations in contexts and circumstances in order to reach the expert level. It involves mastery of competencies that enable the individual to effectively perform occupational activities to the standards expected in the professional environment. Complex learning involves understanding complex physiological systems, developing adaptive expertise and acquiring the collaborative skills required in multidisciplinary medical practice. The medical domain is a domain in which complex learning occurs. ![]() Limited review results reflect the motivational value of AR, its potential for training psychomotor skills and the capacity to visualize the invisible, possibly leading to enhanced conceptual understanding of complex causality. Up to now, empirical research mainly appears to focus on the development, usability and initial implementation of AR for learning. Five types of research questions are identified that may guide empirical research into the effects of these learning environments. Three examples of dedicated AR learning environments for the medical domain are described. AR is a technology that adds virtual content to the physical real world, thereby augmenting the perception of reality. Educational technology and more specifically augmented reality (AR) has the potential to offer a highly realistic situated learning experience supportive of complex medical learning and transfer. Since training in this real-life context is not always possible for reasons of safety, costs, or didactics, alternative ways are needed to achieve clinical excellence. Learning in the medical domain is to a large extent workplace learning and involves mastery of complex skills that require performance up to professional standards in the work environment. ![]()
