Summary

The "G4MER" Program aims to investigate whether serious games add value to medical education in comparison to an online learning package or clinical practice guidelines. The investigators will perform a series of investigator-blinded randomised control trials on doctors, nurses, and medical students at Sydney Children's Hospital. Participants will be given access to their randomly allocated intervention for 8 weeks or 5 days, and will be assessed using multiple choice questions (MCQ) and two observed structure clinical examination (OSCE) stations. Participant attitudes will also be assessed through a mixed-methods questionnaire.
