Submission status
Closed
BMC Medical Education is calling for submissions to our Collection on Gamification and Virtual Reality in medical education and healthcare professions. This Collection seeks to identify pivotal principles underlying the effective use of these technologies. Original research testing hypotheses based on these principles and rooted in learning psychology will be included. The principal aim of this collection is to produce a reliable and valid knowledge base on gamification elements and virtual reality applications that facilitate transfer of principles and solutions across the entire spectrum of healthcare professional education.
