Summary
A crowdfunding campaign has been launched for What the Pharma, a new card game designed by Dr. Mark Carew from the University of Exeter Medical School. The game aims to enhance the learning experience for students in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy by helping them grasp clinical pharmacology concepts, including drug mechanisms and side effects. Developed with Focus Games, it combines educational and assessment elements, allowing players to learn through interactive gameplay. Initially tested and refined with students, the game is now available for pre-order through crowdfunding. It offers versatile play options and a crib sheet to support various learning styles and encourage critical thinking.
