A literature review was conducted to identify, select and critically analyse the effectiveness of AR in medical education.The goal of this investigation was to verify if AR enhances the development of clinical decision-making skills in wound diagnosis and treatment. The results showed that AR enhanced students’ performance in wound diagnostic parameters, with highly statistically significant differences (P < 0.001) in the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests.engAugmented Virtuality (AR)Virtual Reality (VR)Health caree-FerClinical decision-making simulatorNurses trainingconference object
