Competition

Competition

When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Simulation-Based Learning
Serious Games in Healthcare

Background:

Sim Wars is a simulation-based competition for medical trainees, utilizing serious games for experiential learning.
While established in graduate medical education, its use in undergraduate medical education is under-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore undergraduate medical students' perspectives on participating in Sim Wars.
To evaluate Sim Wars as an educational tool in undergraduate medical training.

Main Methods:

A double-elimination bracket tournament format with direct observation was employed.
Quantitative surveys and qualitative focus groups were used to gather student feedback.
Data analysis included quantitative analysis of Likert-scale responses and thematic analysis of qualitative data.

Main Results:

Students reported Sim Wars as a high-yield learning experience.
Participation was associated with increased competence on subsequent clinical rotations.
Structured feedback and preparation were identified as key factors for success.

Conclusions:

Sim Wars serves as a beneficial educational format for medical students.
This serious game approach enhances clinical skills and engagement in undergraduate medical education.
Further research into structured feedback and preparation strategies is warranted.
