A Game-Based Approach to Teaching and Learning Anatomy of the Liver and Portal Venous System

摘要

IntroductionThe use of games and game elements as teaching tools has received increasing attention in the medical education literature. Used formatively, games promote student engagement and satisfaction, and encourage collaboration and teamwork among students. They may also help students retain knowledge, although research supporting this notion is limited. This resource contains a 30-minute interactive lab station involving two different game-based activities aimed at teaching functional anatomy of the liver and portal venous system.
