Educational games created by medical students in a cultural safety training game jam: a qualitative descriptive study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cultural safety training, whereby health professionals learn to reflect on their own culture and to respect the cultural identity of patients, could address intercultural tensions in health care. Given the context of their medical education, however, medical students might perceive such training to be dull or even unnecessary. Game jams, collaborative workshops to create and play games, are a potentially engaging learning environment for medical students today. How medical students learn while making games is poorly documented. This study describes the characteristics of educational games created by participants in a cultural safety game jam and the concepts they used to create games.

Methods

As part of a trial, 268 Colombian medical students divided into 48 group
