An online spaced-education game to teach and assess residents: a multi-institutional prospective trial.
While games are frequently used in resident education, there is little evidence supporting their efficacy. We investigated whether a spaced-education (SE) game can be both a reliable and valid method of assessing residents' knowledge and an effective means of teaching core content. ⋯ An SE game is a reliable and valid means to assess residents' knowledge and is a well-accepted method by which residents can master core content.
