Abstract
Anatomy is an important topic in health professions education with the unique challenge of teaching the relation of structures in three dimensional space. Educators have adopted the use of games for this topic. Intrinsic integration is a theory that suggests better outcomes for educational games when the educational content is incorporated into the core mechanics of the games. This integration has been shown to lead to better learning outcomes compared to control versions of educational games. Proponents suggest that games should provide an external representation of the content which is explored through gameplay.
