Don’t know the answer? See the end of this article. That’s one of the questions (technically, answers) posed to residents from the New York State Psychiatric Institute-Columbia University, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA), and Washington University, St. Louis, at the 11th annual MindGames competition held during APA’s 2017 Annual Meeting in San Diego.
For the second year in a row, it was the team from Columbia that emerged victorious in a competition that pits residents from psychiatry programs across the country against each other with questions about medicine in general and psychiatry in particular. The event has become a popular attraction at the Annual Meeting. Pictured with the trophy after the competition are (from left) Columbia residents Anthony Zoghbi, M.D., Joel Bernanke, M.D., and Wei-Li Chang, M.D.
Judges for the competition were past APA President Michelle Riba, M.D.; Richard Balon, M.D., director of psychiatry residency training at Wayne State University; and Marcy Verduin, M.D., assistant dean for students at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. The moderator and host was Art Walaszek, M.D., director of psychiatry training at the University of Wisconsin.
MindGames is open to all psychiatry residency programs in the United States and Canada. The preliminary competition for this year’s game began in February, when teams of three residents took a 60-minute online test consisting of 150 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. The winners were the three top-scoring teams with the fastest posted times.
Playing for UTHSCSA were Tyler Kimm, M.D., J. Travis Hendryx, M.D., and Manu Sharma, M.D. For Washington University, the contestants were Shan Siddiqi, M.D., Ludwig Trillo, M.D., and Nicholas Trapp, M.D.
The correct answer is “What is catatonia?” ■
