The Bloody Board Game: A Game-Based Approach for Learning High-Value Care Principles in the Setting of Anemia Diagnosis
Introduction With growing health care costs, high-value care is an increasingly important subject for medical training. Many resident and medical student curricula have incorporated lectures-based material about this topic. However, practical-type experiences are needed to refine critical-thinking s...

Many resident and medical student curricula have incorporated lectures-based material about this topic.

Residents on average felt the game enhanced their ability to apply medical knowledge and clinical reasoning (M = 4.7 out of 5, where 5 = strongly agree), as well as high-value care (4.6), and should remain in the program for the high-value care curriculum (4.9).
