Are serious games seriously good at preparing students for clinical practice?: A randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Serious games (SGs) have great potential for pediatric medical education. This study evaluated the efficacy of a SG in improving learner satisfaction, knowledge, and behavior.

Materials And Methods: This was an investigator-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing a SG against two controls: (i) adaptive tutorial (AT), and (ii) low-stimulus control (LSC).

Resuscitating Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training in a Virtual Reality: Prospective Interventional Study.

Background: Simulation-based technologies are emerging to enhance medical education in the digital era. However, there is limited data for the use of virtual reality simulation in pediatric medical education. We developed Virtual Doc as a highly immersive virtual reality simulation to teach pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills to medical students.
