BALTIMORE—April 4, 2007—In February, the Harbor Hospital medical student team brought home a extraordinary win in this year’s annual city-wide Doctor’s Dilemma (a.k.a. Medial Jeopardy) competition. The team not only beat student teams from Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, they also beat nine resident teams.
During the competition’s 11-year history, Harbor Hospital has been victorious many times. The residency team has won eight competitions and has been runner-up in three.
The student team has won the last two student competitions, but this year is the first time in American College of Physicians (ACP) history that a student team has won the overall competition.
