– The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel undergraduate course on serious game design and development that integrates both game and instructional design, thus providing an effective approach to teaching serious game design and development. The chapter ends with a description of the serious games surgical cognitive education and training framework (SCETF) and concluding remarks. In this chapter we begin with a brief overview of alternative medical/surgical educational methods, followed by a discussion of serious games and their application to surgical education, fidelity, multi-modal cue interaction and their role within a virtual simulations/serious games. However, before the application of serious games for surgical education and training becomes more widespread, there are a number of open questions and issues that must be addressed including the relationship between fidelity, multi-modal cue interaction, immersion, and knowledge transfer and retention. With their ability to engage players/learners for a specific purpose, serious games provide an opportunity to acquire cognitive and technical surgical skills outside the operating room thereby optimizing operating room exposure with live patients. The rising popularity of video games has seen a recent push towards the application of serious games to medical education and training.
