Could an online quiz be the future of continuing medical education?
In a twist on the “edu-gaming” phenomenon, Cleveland Clinic and
physician site MDLinx aim to answer that question with The Smartest Doc,
a daily one-minute quiz that aims to keep doctors up to date on the
medical literature by appealing to their competitive spirit.
Cleveland Clinic furnishes content for the multispecialty quiz, which
consists of five or fewer questions and is scored based on speed and
accuracy. Participants can view leader boards showing where they've
placed regionally and nationally.
“Some physicians have chosen to make teams,” said MDLinx's Stephen Smith.
“Some use it as a more local competition. If you're an oncologist in
Omaha, you can play the quiz, then when you talk to each other you have
bragging rights.”
