Residents from three training programs, to be announced in March at the AADPRT meeting, will compete in a fun Jeopardy-like competition at the Annual Meeting.
MindGames, APA’s entertaining and exciting “Jeopardy”-style competition, will again pit teams of residents from three training programs against each other in the competition’s final round at APA’s Annual Meeting.

MindGames, now in its eighth year, tests the teams’ knowledge of medicine in general, psychiatry in particular, and patient-care issues. The game is hosted by renowned psychiatrist and educator Glen O. Gabbard, M.D.
MindGames is open to all psychiatry residency programs in the United States and Canada. The preliminary online competition began this month, when teams of three residents together took a 60-minute online test consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions. The questions follow the ABPN Part I content outline, covering both psychiatry and neurology, with a few difficult history-of-psychiatry questions to make it interesting.
The three top-scoring teams with the fastest posted times will get to go to the MindGames final round in Atlanta. The names of the teams will be announced next month at the annual meeting of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training in Tucson, Ariz.
At last year’s APA Annual Meeting in Toronto, residents from the Creighton University/University of Nebraska residency program won the competition. Members of the winning team were Venkata Kolli, M.B.B.S., Rohit Madan, M.B.B.S., and Varun Monga, M.B.B.S. Coming in second and third place were New York Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia Campus)/New York State Psychiatric Institute, and New York Presbyterian Hospital (Cornell Campus) Program.
MindGames is a collaboration between APA and the American College of Psychiatrists. ■
MindGames will be held Tuesday, May 17, from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. in Room B206, Building B, Level 2, Georgia World Congress Center.
