Population ageing poses many challenges in the landscape of general medicine. One of these is the requirement for more geriatricians to minimise future strain on healthcare systems. Previous studies have identified that, while demand for geriatricians is on the rise, interest among medical students for a career in geriatrics falls behind. We utilised a new augmented reality technology (the Microsoft HoloLens 2) to deliver students a remote bedside teaching experience. Features of this teaching included bi-directional communication, exposure to physical signs, and use of holograms around the patient bedside as a teaching aid. Given its convenience, scope and engagement potential, this educational tool has potential to be used effectively throughout medical training.
