Simulation-based training systems should be tailored to the actual work environment of the envisioned audience of learners. After building an augmented reality-based training system for combat medics, we began to explore strategies for adapting the training to medical students. While people who provide medical care on the battlefield and people who practice medicine in a hospital need to know how to treat traumatic injuries, there are vast differences in how they are trained. Foundational research into the work environment has implications for training design, especially with regards to training content and delivery.
