Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess knowledge attainment, enjoyment, and engagement among third-year medical students through three different online teaching methods: clinical case vignettes, patient-testimony videos, and mixed reality (MR) using Microsoft HoloLens 2.
- 252 students participated, with performances in knowledge attainment being similar across all three methods, but case vignettes were reported as the most enjoyable and engaging.
- The findings suggest that while MR is a feasible and effective teaching method, students preferred traditional case-based tutorials for their learning experience.

We presented students with 12 different clinical presentations on both white skin (WS) and non-white skin (NWS).
