Abstract
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 minutes 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.
期刊介绍：
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
