Augmented reality enhances competency-based training in simulated vaginal birth: A multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of augmented reality in enhancing competency-based training for simulated vaginal birth.
Conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial
Implemented AR-based training prior to simulation
Compared performance outcomes with traditional training methods
Participants using AR showed improved performance in simulated vaginal birth
Competency attainment was higher in the AR group compared to control
AR training was deemed cost-effective and scalable

Abstract

AR-based pre-simulation training enhances performance and competency attainment in simulated vaginal birth care. This scalable and cost-effective approach complements traditional simulation, supporting competency-based medical education while broadening access to high-quality procedural training in obstetrics.
