Psychiatry residents at the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University/Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J., were the winners of the Philadelphia Psychiatric Society's (PPS) Third Annual MindGames Competition. They were led by faculty member Basant Pradhan, M.D. The competition, held at the Schuylkill River Park in March, was sponsored by the PPS Annual Colloquium of Scholars. It was composed of questions posed in a “Jeopardy”-style setting. The competition featured residents from area residency programs, including Drexel University, Temple University, Thomas Jefferson University, Einstein Healthcare Network, and the University of Pennsylvania.
On hand to participate in the fun was Deborah Hales, M.D., director of APA’s Division of Education. The regional competition is similar to a competition sponsored each year by APA and the American College of Psychiatrists. That competition had its final round at APA’s 2013 annual meeting. ■
