Night Shift
Usual education
Night Shift 2024 is a customized, theory-based adventure video game in which the player takes on the character of Andy Jordan, a young emergency medicine physician who moves home after the disappearance of his grandfather and takes a job at a local community hospital. The investigators will ask participants to play Night Shift for 2 hours upon enrollment (or within 2 weeks), and then come back to the game quarterly to play it again for 20 minute booster sessions. They will unlock additional game content each quarter to make the experience more enjoyable.
Participants will receive their usual continuing medical education, but nothing additional.
