Introduction of the Game- Based Learning Platform, Kahoot, as a Tool in Radiology Resident Training

While passive lecture-based learning practices remain popular among medical educators, their retention rates are generally poor. Current movements in medical education encourage alternative teaching methods designed to maximize knowledge retention, reduce lapses in attention and uncover the learner’...
