Resident Games: Enhancing Communication Among Interprofessional Team Members Using a Simulated Interactive Environment
The ACGME requires Residents to participate as team members in real and/or simulated interprofessional clinical patient training activities. Confounding this effort, Residents will increasingly encounter obese, diabetic, depressed patients with cardiometabolic disease. Interprofessional teams for treating these patients often include: Dietician, PCP, Cardiologist, Nurse, Endocrinologist, Psychiatrist, and/or Bariatric Surgeon. Since it is virtually impossible to gather these professionals in one place for training purposes, we are creating a virtual scenario using a mixed reality holographic computer headset. Resident Games will provide data that is useful in developing trainee roles in teams and help discover best practices in delivering complex health care needs of patients.
