Abstract: XR technology could bridge the real and virtual worlds on different levels. With the development of extended reality (AR, MR, and VR), it has been applied widely in people’s daily lives, but also in higher education, especially in medical and healthcare education. Medical education, training, surgical simulation, neurological rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and telemedicine are some medical areas that VR, AR, and MR are applied in (Hsieh & Lee, 2018). Most research and studies on this topic discuss the benefits and effectiveness of applying these technologies to education, but a comprehensive view of the phenomenon is missing, as the terms and technologies are varied. The purpose of this study is to review the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of XR in the field of healthcare education. Combined with Bloom’s taxonomy and learning requirements, the study aims to offer healthcare educators practical perspectives to choose the most suitable technologies to improve medical and healthcare education.
