Abstract

Serious gaming a tool that can be used to train new physicians in a manner that keeps patients out of harm's way. This is especially true when teaching procedures, which in the medical community if often done in a “see one, do one, teach one” manner. Additionally, many teachers focus on technical aspects of the procedure and may leave out or de-emphasize non-technical portions of the procedure such as hand washing and patient positioning. This chapter per the authors investigates the utility of serious gaming in teaching physicians technical procedures. The chapter begins with game development and will end with a discussion of the results of the prospective randomized study.
