About GAME PLAY
“Practice is a shared history of learning. Practice is conversational. Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a concern (domain) or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better (practice) as they interact regularly (community).”
— Etienne Wenger —
GAME Peer Learning and Advancement Yard – a virtual space where collaborative and creative learning happens
We are colleagues, friends, leaders, and followers; we coach, mentor, share, help, and support each other; we share resources and create what we need in a respectful and trusted community; we learn together and from each other joyfully because we choose it freely for ourselves.
We believe that we all bring expertise and unique perspectives to our community of practice and learning, and we take turns as facilitators and project leaders.
At GAME PLAY, we believe the best learning comes from playful collaboration. By working on projects defined collectively by the group, we will:
- Think Creatively: Break free from traditional solutions and explore new possibilities
- Collaborate Freely: Build trust and openness with each other, leading to richer discussions and better learning outcomes
- Learn Fearlessly: Experiment, fail, and grow without the pressure of perfection
- Stay Inspired: Challenge each other and inspire one another, serving as both mentors and learners
- Feel Empowered: Build meaningful connections with people who provide the support and encouragement you need to grow stronger

Join us today and be part of a global network that’s shaping the future of medical education—one playful collaboration at a time.
