The medical students report higher cases of burnout as compared to other students due to strenuous curriculum and environment. Thus, to motivate students, medical schools are implementing the concept of gamification wherein the game-design elements are applied.

"Medical students can be provided with a platform for visualisation and interaction with the material. Gamification also involves the incorporation of games to develop medical skills in small-group classes. It provides better learning opportunities as students can gather medical knowledge through simulated results," says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on K12 and higher education.
