What this trial studies

This study investigates how leaderboards and daily motivational messages affect the learning and engagement of medical students using a gamified dermoscopy training app. Participants will be randomized into groups to receive different combinations of leaderboard visibility and motivational messages over a seven-day training period. The app features a library of over 10,000 skin lesions and provides instant feedback on diagnostic quizzes. The primary focus is on improving diagnostic accuracy and self-regulated learning through gamification techniques.
