CARBGAME ("CArd & amp; Board GAmes in Medical Education") - A Gamification Innovation to foster active learning in Biochemistry for Medical Students

Adv Physiol Educ. 2023 Dec 7. doi: 10.1152/advan.00214.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiving into the realm of game-based learning, the "CARBGAME"- CARd & Board GAmes in Medical Education is an innovative series of games that reimagines the way medical students learn complex but essential chapters. In the pilot study, there was a highly significant improvement in the academic performance of students in the chapter 'Vitamins'. All the students perceived CARBGAME to be highly rewarding in terms of creating engaging and meaningful learning experiences. Recognizing the benefit of games in medical education, we strongly recommend the implementation of "CARBGAME" for essential topics in physiology education to create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment for students.PMID:38059283 | DOI:10.1152/advan.00214.2023
