A gamified resource for learning anatomy terminology aids retention

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract A card game, “Hold your Nerve,” was developed to aid memorization of anatomy terminology in small‐group learning formats. Each of the 719 cards consisted of an anatomical term and its definition. To play, a student blindly holds a card so as to block the definition but display the term to the group, who must provide verbal/physical clues to ...
