Escape the Room! Utilizing Gamification in a Preceptor Training Workshop.

Gamification is an innovative pedagogy involving immersive technology that acknowledges learner-centric milieus and dynamic teaching practices. Gamification is positioned well in nursing education because learners can translate tools from team experiences, communication, and critical thinking questions into the healthcare setting. This article introduces an escape-the-room format that was constructed for a preceptor program at a large academic medical center. The results of the implementation encourage gamification as an engaging methodology in clinical education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
