Interactive Board Game
Intern Year: An Educational Board Game
During the board game participants explore how different events on call, on rotations, in clinics affect their sleep, behaviors and well-being. The game is arranged so that through a roll of the dice, different scenarios arise. What is unique about this game is that it fosters deep discussion about experiences physicians (trainees and faculty) face and the impact it has had on them. This is done in a safe and fun setting.
|
Board Game learning objectives
- Participants will be able to engage with peers regarding the rewards and stresses of being a psychiatrist.
- The participant will be able to discuss work-related issues that can effect their sense of well-being.
