The role of leaderboards for gamification in virtual reality simulation mastoidectomy training: a controlled trial

Leaderboards significantly enhance training engagement and performance in surgical simulations.
Participants showed a 30% increase in task completion times when using gamified training elements.
Controlled trial methodology tested the effectiveness of gamification through leaderboards in a virtual reality setup.
Results suggest integrating leaderboards could improve surgical training outcomes, but further studies are needed.
