The digitization of medical studies can help future doctors cope with new opportunities and challenges of our time. Computer-assisted procedures have long since become part of a doctor's daily routine and the use of modern digital technology is unlikely to decline in the future. In order to be better prepared, the use of modern technology must already take place during studies and training. This is exactly where SkillsLab+ comes in and combines the first practical experiences of the medical course SkillsLab with state of the art methods of augmented reality. Additional information, images and instructions are projected directly into the learner's field of vision and they learn how to use this new technology in a meaningful way. Supporting digitization of the SkillsLab can promote self-study and helps students to be better prepared for the actual teaching. Upcoming studies will investigate this assumption and a comparison between the conventional SkillsLab and the enhanced and and digitised SkillsLab+ will be sought.
