Credit Calculation
Credit is calculated based on estimated time-on-task per episode, following ANCC guidelines for enduring materials. Each episode encompasses seven in-game nights:
Credit designated in 0.25-credit (15-minute) increments, rounded to nearest quarter hour.
Clinical Education Content (Season 1)
The following clinical domains are integrated into the seven-episode narrative arc, co-developed with clinical faculty consultation:
- Acute coronary syndromes: troponin interpretation, risk stratification, escalation criteria
- Volume overload and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: diuretic management, hemodynamic monitoring
- Gastrointestinal hemorrhage: upper vs. lower GI bleed workup, transfusion triggers, GI consultation criteria
- Decompensated cirrhosis: SBP evaluation, hepatorenal physiology, lactulose titration
- ICU escalation decision-making: recognizing hypotension requiring vasopressors, hypercarbia and hypoxia thresholds
- Cross-cover and triage prioritization: managing simultaneous competing clinical demands during overnight call
- Systems-based practice and ethical reasoning: resource allocation in small hospital settings
Sample Learning Objectives (Episode 1)

- Identify the initial evaluation steps for a patient presenting with acute chest pain during an overnight shift
- Apply evidence-based triage principles to prioritize simultaneous clinical demands
- Recognize the clinical and psychosocial challenges unique to locum tenens practice
- Describe the appropriate escalation pathway for a hemodynamically unstable patient in a resource-limited setting
