The American College of Physicians Doctor's Dilemma® Competition

The annual American College of Physicians (ACP) Doctor's Dilemma® competition is a hallmark program for the College. It brings together some of the brightest residents from around the world in a friendly but highly competitive environment. The competition tests the medical knowledge of up to 60 teams, each representing an ACP chapter. After three days of competition, the winning team is awarded the coveted "Osler Cup" and is granted a place in ACP history.

To participate in the competition, a team must be nominated by its state ACP chapter. The state of Virginia makes this determination through a state-wide Jeopardy competition. On Saturday, March 13, 2021, teams from the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Inova, and Carilion-Clinic Virginia Tech Carilion competed for this coveted spot.

The Carilion Clinic - Virginia Tech Carilion Internal Medicine team, comprised of Drs Katherine Mustafa, Ian Richardson, and Jarek Marva, were victorious in earning the right to represent the state at the National ACP Doctors Dilemma competition!

Congratulations to our residents on this achievement!
