Challenge GP: using gamification to bring the reality and uncertainty of a duty doctor’s surgery to early year medical students

Figures & data

Box 1. Intended Learning Outcomes.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

By the end of the session students will be able to:

1. Apply key non-technical skills in problem-solving, time-management, prioritisation, teamwork and leadership in the context of solving primary care challenging dilemmas

2. Use clinical reasoning to judge clinical risk appropriately

3. Integrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes to formulate responses which are safe, pragmatic and wise

4. Appraise and evaluate the relative merits of different solutions and responses considering the holistic and value-based approach of general practice

Box 2. Challenge GP: “Back of the box” instructions for students.

“It’s a Monday morning duty GP session, you, your teammates, a trusty stethoscope, and an intermittent internet connection must navigate each patient encounter with slick, timely and clinically brilliant responses to score maximum points from your GP mentor. Beware unsafe, unwise and unrealistic decisions will result in NEGATIVE scores.

The other teams are hot on your heels ready to SWIPE, DUMP or perhaps strategically COLLABORATE to see which team will emerge as the GP Team of 2023.

Good Luck!”
