Playing Tetris During #COVID19: Serious Games and Gamification

Resa speaks with Medical Educators and Emergency Medicine Drs. Teresa Chan and Megan Stobart-Gallagher.  What are Serious Games?  How do those differ from using Game Mechanics in your medical education teaching?  The literature supports that adults like to play and games are effective.  They discuss Jane McGonigal, the power of games and highlight examples, such as Gridlocked, a game that could allow future doctors to learn systems approaches to patient management in a safe, low stakes environment., and Empiric, the antimicrobial card game designed for education for medical professionals.
