Abstract

Gamification is an emerging tool in medical education that has been increasingly adopted in the field of radiology. The purpose of this non-systematic review is to explore the use of gamification in medical education with a particular focus on new generations of learners and radiology education. This manuscript begins by examining the effectiveness of gamification in improving learning outcomes in medicine and radiology. Future research recommendations and the potential impact of gamification on new learners are discussed. Finally, this review provides insight into a gaming platform, Kaizen, as a promising approach to enhance education by improving motivation and increasing interest in radiology knowledge.
