"Pharmacology Jeopardy" as a medical education tool: evaluation of gamification theory

Description

Abstract:
Historically, pharmacology has been a challenging component of preclinical medical education for two primary reasons. First, the information is discrete, detailed, and high-volume. Second, information is often tied to clinical cases before students are exposed to or familiar with patient care. The use of jeopardy as a tool in medical education is a growing trend in curricula across the country, with demonstrated benefits to student retention and satisfaction. To evaluate these outcomes, our purpose was to develop an online jeopardy-based supplement to the second-year cardiology pharmacology curriculum at the Warren Alpert Medical School.
