32 - Unlocking Success: Impact of Escape Room-Style Instructional Design on Proficiency and Outcomes

This poster will showcase the success and compelling outcomes of a series of unique Clinical Clues "Escape Room-Style" educational initiatives. This poster will provide an in-depth analysis of how this innovative approach to medical education significantly enhances learning outcomes and engagement.

The poster will explain the design of this educational strategy, which transforms traditional learning environments into interactive, gamified escape rooms. Each room is carefully crafted to simulate real-world clinical scenarios or evidence-based learning environments, challenging learners to solve relevant medical tasks. This immersive format not only captivates learners but also actively involves them in their learning process, significantly boosting retention and application of knowledge.

We will present data collected from recent implementations of this format, including increased proficiency among learners, higher engagement rates, and improved ability to apply learned concepts in clinical practice. Through interactive infographics and detailed analytics, we will demonstrate how the gamification of learning content has led to measurable improvements in learner outcomes.

Highlights of our findings include a notable rise in the effectiveness of learning as learners navigate through various staged environments, solving challenges that mimic real-life clinical decisions. The competitive aspect of the format has also proven to enhance motivation and drive among learners, encouraging repeated engagement and deeper learning.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into how this escape room-style educational format can be implemented effectively within their own organizations to achieve similar outcomes. We will provide key takeaways and strategies on integrating this innovative approach into existing educational frameworks, ensuring that attendees can replicate our success in their respective settings.
