Background and aims: Since the Indonesia Covid-19 pandemic spread out in March 2020, the online learning method was applied in a professional medical program, and we started to use "Quizziz," an educational game online. The study aimed to evaluate Small Group Learning activity's effectiveness using "Quizziz" as pre-test and post-test. Methods: This research was quasi-experimental one group pre-posttest design, involving 107 medical professional students of Indonesian Muslim university enrolled in SGL activity as an enrichment program before entering clinical departments in November 2020. The "Quizziz" was done before and after the SGL activity and statistically analyzed the result. The students were also asked to answer some survey questions about Quizziz performance. Result: In this research, we found the mean of Quizziz pre SGL score was 54,93 (SE±1,448), and the mean of Quizziz post SGL score was 88,64 (SE±1,141). Because both data Quizziz pre and post SGL scores were normal distributions, we compared both statistically using t-paired student test. We found significantly different with p-value <0,001. The survey result confirmed 88,3% of the student said that The Quizziz's question was in line with SGL content, 87,9 % of students felt that The Quizziz improved their concentration, and 85,3% reported that The Quizziz helped them to understand SGL's subject. Conclusions: Small Group learning activity in medical profession program was very effective in improving student knowledge when evaluated with the Quizziz application Keywords: SGL, The Quizziz, a medical student.
