PharmaQUEST: The Pharmacy Escape Challenge is an interactive educational game designed to simulate pharmacy-related tasks and challenges in a fun, escape-room format. The goal is to solve a series of pharmacy-related puzzles within a limited time to "escape" from the scenario. Each challenge tests players on pharmaceutical knowledge, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
MedMIX comprises a case study integrating a laboratory activity with a counseling component to evaluate participants' compounding and patient-centered care skills. Players are guided through the process of creating troches for a patient and subsequently explaining the procedure to them. Evaluation criteria encompass both the successful creation of the troches and the demonstration of soft skills throughout the interaction.
