This article examines how virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality are transforming health care education and training, especially in Global Health Engagements (GHEs). It highlights how these technologies can overcome geographic barriers, expand access to medical education, and foster international cooperation. The article introduces a framework, based on the U.S. Department of Defense’s “Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, and Facilities” model, to guide the adoption of these technologies and align them with U.S. GHE goals. The framework covers key areas such as technology terminology, equipment setup, secure online participation, user experience, system capabilities, and cultural considerations. Its goal is to encourage innovation and address challenges to enhance global health outcomes through immersive technologies.
