And now for something completely different…and completely awesome!
In April, the MSBI Emergency Medicine Residency Team won the national Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association (EMRA) Quiz Show Competition held on April 22, 2018 at the CORD Academic Assembly in San Antonio, Texas. The quiz show takes medical knowledge seriously and games not-so-seriously. Congratulations to our team for coming out on top in this national competition.
Best.
Uniforms.
Ever.

Also in the category of awesome… Our ED residents are in the hands of the uniquely talented, Dr. Saadia Akhtar. She recently won two prestigious awards recognizing educational leaders who demonstrate innovation and change in emergency medicine education, and evidence of mentoring others and the love of teaching, among other qualities. In April she received the “Michael P. Wainscott Program Director Award” and in March, the “ACGME Parker J. Palmer Courage to Teach Award,” which was only given to nine Program Directors from all specialties nationwide. Incredible!
