The goal is to evaluate the acceptance of Augmented Reality (AR) simulation as a learning modality for prehospital providers. The simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices for simulation delivery and design as well as prior literature on simulation training for prehospital providers; the focus of this study is the participants' experiential interaction with AR and the simulation resources.

Thematic Analysis of Post-Simulation Discussions
The primary aim is to study the acceptance of AR simulation amongst prehospital providers via thematic analysis of semi-structured discussions using qualitative research methods.
Time frame: Duration of post-simulation debrief (15-20 minutes)
System Usability Scale (SUS)
The first secondary aim is to evaluate AR simulation usability amongst prehospital providers via the System Usability Scale (SUS).
Time frame: Duration of Intervention (less than one hour)
Headset Ergonomics
The final secondary aim will evaluate the ergonomics of the headset via the ISO 9241-400 assessment of human-ergonomic factors.
Time frame: Duration of Intervention (less than one hour)
