As such, pediatric providers are increasingly on the frontline of vaccine conversations with their patients, families, colleagues, and communities. To respond effectively to vaccine hesitancy, providers should employ professionalism in all aspects of their practice, including commitment to learning and growth, cultural awareness and humility, ethical responsibility to self and others, oral communication, reliability and dependability, teamwork, critical thinking and quantitative reasoning, and the engagement in public discourse around vaccines. By ensuring excellence in each professionalism domain, pediatric providers will have the best chance of enhancing vaccine positivity and minimizing vaccine hesitancy. <b>[<i>Pediatr Ann</i>. 2024;53(12):e465-e472.]</b>.</p>","PeriodicalId":54633,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Annals","volume":"53 12","pages":"e465-e472"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142803533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gamification has shown success across various fields in medical education. It has demonstrated deeper engagement by leveraging both intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors. While beneficial, gamification requires thoughtful implementation to increase active learning and avoid potential negative effects, such as unhealthy competition. Serious games integrate learning objectives directly within their framework, making the educational experience an intrinsic part of gameplay. These games are specifically designed to enhance knowledge and skills while promoting decision making, teamwork, and communication. The immersive nature of serious games requires players to actively engage and apply their knowledge to solve complex problems. Serious games and simulation represent transformative educational approaches that not only enhance learning and retention but also develop essential competencies crucial for health care professionals.
