Diagnosis: a Medical Education Game is an immersive serious game, where players navigate the hospital gathering crucial clinical information to successfully diagnose and hand over a patient. Diagnosis eases the transition from campus-based to placement-based learning, introducing productive failure opportunities in a low-stakes setting. Diagnosis also highlights the importance of managing resources and prioritising differentials, offering opportunities to reflect on multiple elements of the clinical reasoning process, supporting the development of adaptive expertise.

As you progress, you will interview and examine your patient, order tests and imaging scans. Use your judgement wisely, or you will run out of money before reaching a diagnosis. If you miss something, your patient’s condition may deteriorate, so be as thorough as you can! Collaborate with teammates, and challenge your knowledge on your way to solving medical mysteries. But beware of the ‘Spooky Consultant’ lurking around the corners, adding an extra layer of suspense and thrill. Bring out your inner doctor, hone your diagnostic skills, and experience the pulse-pounding excitement of healthcare education like never before!
