Randomized trial compares escape room gamification and traditional teaching for medical toxicology education, indicating improved engagement and satisfaction.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of escape room gamification compared to traditional lecture-based teaching in medical toxicology education for emergency medicine residents.
Conducted a randomized crossover study at a large urban academic simulation center.
Assigned EM residents to receive education through either escape room gamification or traditional lecture.
Knowledge acquisition assessed with a 10-item multiple choice test pre- and post-intervention, with retention evaluated at 4-6 weeks.
Fifty-one EM residents participated; knowledge scores improved significantly after escape room (6.67 ± 1.90, p = 0.043) and lecture (7.04 ± 1.46, p = 0.001) compared to baseline (5.78 ± 1.53).
73.5% of participants preferred escape room gamification for their learning experience.
No difference in retention at 4-6 weeks, with scores significantly higher than baseline (p < 0.001).
