Abstract
AbstractdataCrossword puzzles have been utilised as a means of health professions education (HPE) gamification. A systematic review conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines was performed to evaluate the educational impact and describe the characteristics of crosswords in HPE contexts. Twenty-nine studies fulfilled inclusion criteria. Crossword puzzles are an enjoyable learning activity and provide positive educational impact. The available evidence suggests crossword puzzles increase student knowledge on objective measures.
