About us: The American College of Radiology (ACR) • Founded in 1923, the American College of Radiology® is at the forefront of radiology evolution, representing nearly 40,000 radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians and medical physicists. • Core Purpose To serve patients and society by empowering members to advance the practice, science and professions of radiological care.
Why an Escape Room? • Idea brought to us by a Radiology Resident • ACR looking for innovative ways to engage medical students • Provide a little radiology knowledge and experience in a fun, interactive way • Ultrasound puzzle, IR simulation, imaging, anatomy
We wanted a hands-on experience
It was a hit!
The big question ….. How do we turn this from a live event to a virtual event?
Keep the same goals as the live event • Promote teamwork and collaboration • Showcase radiology • Keep it fun
Obstacles in reaching our goals • Internet searches showed us some “Escape Room” type examples • Most were for single person use via form builder • Using simple multiple-choice type questions • We were missing the personal connection • Lost out on many of the hands-on puzzles • The # 1 Problem - no budget or funding
We rolled up our
sleeves, got to work
and looked into
what tools we
currently had
available

• A collaboration tool • A tool to host the room
• Go To Meeting puzzles
• Microsoft Teams • Canvas
• Zoom • Google Forms & Docs
• Survey Monkey
• JotformIncorporate lessons from the live Escape Room
• People get stuck – Prepare to provide Hints
• Its an Escape Room! A timer adds a level of urgency
and competition
• Variety of puzzles keeps interest
• Play on different strengths – math, language, logic,
problem solving
• Different groups get “hung up” on different thingsOur first Virtual Escape Room
• Used Zoom
• Asked groups to pick a
team leader to share
their screen and “run”
the puzzles
• Provided all
participants with access
to the cluesColleagues & residents:
test drives
• Why do test drives with colleagues?
• Easily accessible
• Find gaps
• Test level of difficulty from a non-
medical perspective
• Why do test drives with residents?

• Find gaps after iterations
• Test difficulty of puzzles from a
medical perspectivePrototype testing observations & feedback
• ACR Colleagues • Radiology Residents
• Accidentally closed the puzzle form • Radiology and medical knowledge too
easy
• Google docs for clues a little awkward
• Ack! Medical knowledge too hard! • Clue packet on Google docs, too
many tabs open
• It was fun!
• It was fun!• Know your audience – create
applicable and engaging storylines
and puzzles
• Be prepared to moderate and
Overarching facilitate engagement
lessons • Gather feedback and adjust as
needed
learned and • Use the cameras / video to
tips & tricks encourage team members to
collaborate
• Host the escape room at the
beginning of an event or during
breaksEscape Room Opportunities
Escape Room,
an innovative
teaching strategy
• Highly customizable
• Engaging learning
environment
• Alternative to didactic
lectures
• Immersive learning
experience
• Requires minimal

resourcesEscape room promotes: • Engagement • Creativity • Communications skills • Delegation of tasks and teamwork • Critical thinking • Time management • Problem solving • Knowledge retention • Collaboration
CME Credit for Escape Room Activity • AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ can be awarded for participation in virtual, in- person or hybrid escape rooms provided that all AMA PRA core requirements and applicable ACCME requirements are met. • Possible activity formats: • Live • Enduring • Other
Definition of "Other" Activity Format
• The “other” activity format is used for blended, new, or unique approaches that do
not fall into one of the established activity types.
• Providers must identify these activities as “other” in the AMA credit designation
statement and include a brief description of the learning format in PARS, in the
credit designation statement, and in documentation given to learners (certificates,
transcripts, etc.).
• The inclusion of the “other” activity format allows educators to deploy new
technologies such as simulation, adaptive e-learning, virtual reality, gamification, and
social media into their medical education approaches.
