Escape rooms are SO hot right now.  I have seen diabetes escape rooms, gram positive infections escape rooms, and even interprofessional education escape rooms.  They sound daunting and difficult to create.  However, after making my first one, I can tell you-if you have worksheets, you can create an escape room! 

 

Who: I piloted it in my elective, so a smaller group.  Students were in teams of 2-3. 

 

What: This was an end of course review for an infectious disease elective 

 

Where: Classroom 

 

When: End of course 

 

Why:  

-Allows you to review many concepts in a short amount of time 

-Students are entirely immersed in the content as they attempt to solve the locks 

-Timer naturally creates sense of urgency and competition
