"I'm almost opioid-a-phobic": family medicine residents' perceptions of enhancing opioid analgesic and agonist treatment training in a Canadian setting

There is enough evidence that healthcare is cost-effective with significantly better outcomes in countries where primary care is delivered through trained family physicians. The concept of "Family Practice approach" is relatively new in developing countries like Pakistan, where majority of basic healthcare is provided by doctors without a formal postgraduate training.

Challenge GP: using gamification to bring the reality and uncertainty of a duty doctor's surgery to early year medical students
We present a novel teaching concept: 'Challenge GP' designed for early years students. Gamification methodology is used to reproduce key elements of the 'duty GP' experience in a classroom setting where working in teams, students play a competitive card game. Cards drawn at random pose scenarios based on practical, logistical, and ethical dilemmas of a duty doctor surgery. Each team discusses whether to score by reporting a decision or play special cards to pass the dilemma onto, or collaborate with, another team. Answers are facilitated and scored by a GP tutor.Student feedback demonstrated highly effective learning for c...
