Pharmacy students actively participated in developing and refining the educational content to engage adolescent transplant patients in learning about their medications. The creation and implementation of the game, patient feedback, challenges encountered, and lessons learned during the pilot phase are discussed, highlighting the potential for gamification to improve knowledge of and adherence to immunosuppression and infection prophylaxis medications among adolescent transplant patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gamification offers a novel approach to enhancing medication education for adolescent transplant patients. The involvement of pharmacists and pharmacy students in developing and delivering gamified education can support patient engagement and transition to adult care. Future research is needed to evaluate the impact of gamification on clinical outcomes, including adherence and graft survival rates.<\/jats:p>\n
