Abstract Augmented Reality (AR) transforms telemedicine training by providing interactive, immersive learning experiences that enhance clinical decision-making, remote diagnostics, and virtual patient management. As telemedicine adoption expands, AR offers scalable and effective solutions for healthcare education. This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of AR in telemedicine training compared to traditional methods, identifying key competencies AR enhances, such as remote patient assessment and virtual communication, while examining challenges, research methodologies, and adoption barriers, particularly in low-resource settings. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and IEEE Xplore databases for studies published between 2010 and 2024, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to ensure a rigorous selection process. The findings indicated that AR-based training significantly improves knowledge retention, procedural accuracy, and workflow efficiency in telemedicine settings, while AI-driven AR applications enhance real-time decision-making and diagnostic precision. Despite these improvements, high costs, faculty training limitations, and integration challenges hold back its spread, especially in developing regions such as India. AR emerges as one of the most promising tools for enhancing telemedicine training and filling gaps in remote healthcare education, though further research should aim at cost-effective implementation strategies, long-term impact assessments, and regulatory frameworks for further integration into medical curricula around the globe.
