Geriatrix: A Role-Playing Game.
Hoffman, Stephanie B.; And Others
Gerontologist, v25 n6 p568-72 Dec 1985
To sensitize medical students to the complexities of geriatric patient care, the geriatrics faculty of Upstate Medical Center's Clinical Campus developed Geriatrix, a role-playing game. Students attempt to win points in a board game containing Fact, Concept, and Crisis Squares. Crises promote exposure to ethical dilemmas and invite intense debate and questioning. (Author/BL)
