Parkview Medical Center’s internal medicine residency program is sending their “Minds of Steel” to Boston. Over the past year the group of residency physicians has hosted medical trivia Jeopardy style competitions. Not only do these gatherings promote team bonding, they are also a fun, unique way to get a little extra studying in during an otherwise busy work week. The Pueblo team dubbed themselves “Minds of Steel” to represent the Steel City.
These types of gatherings have become very popular with medical students, residents and attending physicians all over the world. They have become so popular, in 1997 the American College of Physicians started the Doctor’s Dilemma Competition as part of the scientific Internal Medicine meeting held annually.
In February, the Parkview “Minds of Steel” team competed in the statewide medical trivia competition in Denver. The team handily defeated teams representing Denver hospitals, including University of Colorado and St. Joseph’s, earning them a spot in the international championship competition held at the ACP national meeting in Boston, April 30th through May 2nd. The team will not only represent Pueblo, but all of Colorado as they take on 40 teams from around the world, featuring the brightest residents, as they compete for the Osler Cup. Parkview’s “Minds of Steel” will go up against the team representing Ontario in the first round of competition on April 30th at 3pm ET. Good Luck “Minds of Steel.”
The team is composed of Dr. Jennifer Cox, Dr. Michael Forte, Dr. Vicki Zamurs/Le and Dr. Kayleigh Zerr and led by Coach Dr. Kathryn McCaffrey.
