Abstract:
To enhance engagement and educational outcomes, game-based learning has been introduced into undergraduate and graduate medical education programs. Using a free website, "PM&R Connections," a serious game, was created to provide trainees with an alternative method of reviewing content to identify knowledge gaps to direct studying. The game was used by 19/33 trainees and 92.3% of users required ≤10 mins to complete a puzzle. 76.9% of users found the tool helpful, 69.2% recommended the game, and 92.3% desired more puzzles to be developed. Confusion on how to play and intimidation were the most reported barriers to play, and only 46% of users changed their study habits. The positive feedback and desire for more puzzles to be developed provide a foundation to further develop the game.
