Type: article

Abstract: This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Gamification incorporates elements of gameplay into real-word activities and behaviours. These elements include progress mechanics, player development and narrative structure. Gamification is being increasingly used in an educational context as it has the ability to make learning fun, memorable and more effective. We recommend ways in which gamification can be effectively implemented in medical education, including common pitfalls and hurdles to avoid.
