It seems like the world will combine the real and the virtual worlds. From an educational perspective, augmented reality allows multimedia materials. This review aimed to provide reported trends and critical synthesis to identify gaps in existing literature and research areas. The PubMed, Web of Science, and Discover databases were used as sources for the review of the literature. This review included published studies reported in peer-reviewed research journals between 2019 to 2021. Augmented reality-based learning programs are widely used in medical schools around the globe because it provides distinct learning sources, such as remote learning and simulation-based learning.
