đź“š Lecture: "Dungeons & Dragons with Real-World Critical Thinking"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Steven Spinks
Join us for a fascinating evening with Dr. Steven Spinks as we explore the surprising connections between playing Dungeons & Dragons and essential critical thinking skills used in healthcare. What does diagnosing a patient have in common with navigating a dragon’s lair? You might be surprised to find that both require skills like pattern recognition, risk assessment, teamwork, and adaptive decision-making.
In this engaging lecture, Dr. Spinks will illustrate how the critical thinking skills honed through tabletop role-playing games can translate into better problem-solving abilities in real-world situations, enhancing our professional and personal lives. No prior experience with dice-rolling is necessary—just come with curiosity and an open mind!

He holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Tennessee and is currently completing his PhD dissertation on clinical decision-making.
