Abstract Background The concept of the metaverse is a virtual world that immerses users, allowing them to interact with digital environment. Due metaverse's utility in collaborative and immersive simulation, it can be advantageous for medical education high‐stakes care settings such as emergency, critical, acute care. Consequently, there has been growth educational use, which yet characterized alongside other simulation modalities literature. This scoping review aims provide comprehensive overview all research describing use Methods We used Arksey O'Malley's framework Levac et al. modifications conduct by searching these five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC, Web Science, Education Source). comprises six steps: (1) identifying question; (2) relevant literature; (3) study selection; (4) data extraction; (5) collating, summarizing, reporting data; (6) consultation key informants. Relevant themes trends were extracted mapped reporting. Results search yielded 8175 citations, ultimately led extraction from 65 articles. Studies evaluated programs learning assessment both technical skills (management code blue, sepsis, stroke, etc.) nontechnical (e.g., interprofessional collaboration, communication, critical decision making). Barriers implementation include challenges difficulty evaluating effectiveness. Conclusions results this highlight current applications an tool, its identified strengths weaknesses, further comparison between high‐fidelity simulation. work provides direction future primary secondary aid programmers curriculum planners maximizing potential education.
