Three residents from Memorial Hospital to compete in national competition

PAWTUCKET – Three residents in the Memorial Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program/The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University won the American College of Physicians Rhode Island Chapter’s Medical Jeopardy Competition. With that win, they will attend the ACP’s national meeting in the spring of 2017, reported Memorial Hospital, a Care New England hospital, where they will face 49 teams of residents, one from each state.

The Memorial Hospital team of third-year resident Dr. M. Firas Barbour, second-year resident Dr. Anais Ovalle and first-year resident Dr. Faeq Kukhon competed against resident teams from Roger Williams Medical Center and Rhode Island, Miriam and Kent hospitals.

“This is a fun, yet educational, exercise created by the [ACP], which tests resident physicians on their medical knowledge and quick thinking,” Dr. Sajiid Saraf, director of Memorial’s residency program, said in a statement. “Our team demonstrated outstanding medical knowledge and a keen strategy with focused energy. It was exciting to see these three young doctors perform at their best!”

Internal medicine residents in the program see patients hospitalized at Memorial as well as those who are seen as outpatients at Memorial’s Internal Medicine Clinic.
