Clinical Decision Making and Video Game Play

This study finds experienced physicians can enhance clinical decision making through video game play.

According to a first-of-its-kind study, medical video games have been shown to increase the competence and clinical decision-making of busy, experienced physicians.

Previous studies had focused on new physicians and basic skills. This study found that highly experienced doctors benefited greatly from video games, including improvement in clinical decision making long after gameplay.

“Medical video games offer a unique and fun way for busy physicians to improve their clinical reasoning, enabling them to advance their skills on their own time and without putting patients at risk.”
