The aim of this study is to determine ‘gamification’ as a pedagogical application in the acquiring and
learning of medical terminologies, and the associated outcomes. We evaluated both e-learning modules
and interventions that incorporated gamified elements. Controlled trials in medical schools measuring
knowledge retention, active engagement, and self-reported satisfaction were part of our approach. Gamebased learning interventions were found to be superior in-relating to the motivational levels and the overall
efficiency in achieving the set academic goals. This study highlights how gamification can be purposefully
integrated into learning within the medical field, particularly in teaching medical terms, providing a costeffective and efficient teaching solution.
