Doctor's Dilemma™ Competition
(a.k.a. Medical Jeopardy)
ACP's national medical jeopardy competition, ACP Doctor's Dilemma™, is held each year at the annual scientific Internal Medicine meeting. The competition pits champion against champion in a battle to final jeopardy. Up to 40 teams of residents from around the nation compete for the coveted title of national champion.
To compete in the competition, a team must be nominated by their chapter Governor, and the chapter must hold a similar event at their state meeting. Teams are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all of the slots are filled. All team members must be dues-paid ACP Associate members.
Nominations should be forwarded to ACP Membership Development at mbrdev@acponline.org by January 31. If your chapter meeting is held in the spring, please contact the national office prior to the deadline to reserve your spot in the national competition. Names of the participants from the winning chapter team can be forwarded, after the local meeting is held.
