The Vitamonopoly intervention introduces a unique approach to medical education by employing a monopoly-style card and board game that uniquely integrates the physiological and biochemical roles of vitamins into an engaging and collaborative learning experience. Unlike traditional didactic teaching methods, this game utilizes interactive mechanics such as "Chance Cards" and "Cure Cards", which present health tips, nutrition challenges, or clinical questions related to vitamins. Players can land on "sources of vitamins" where they "buy" or "trade" based on Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) values, promoting a deeper understanding of nutritional biochemistry. The multiplayer format encourages active participation, collaboration, and problem-solving while reinforcing key concepts through repeated and contextualized learning. By gamifying complex content, Vitamonopoly bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application, offering a fresh, scalable, and impactful approach to modern medical education.
