Friday Evening Resident Trivia Scavenger Hunt!
Sagis Dermpath Scavenger Hunt
TDS Spring 2023 - April 28-29, 2023 - Hyatt Regency Austin - Austin, TX
Sagis Scavenger Hunt (6:00 p.m. – 7:15 p.m.)
Join us for an exciting and educational scavenger hunt around beautiful Austin, TX! Wear your best Athleisure gear and get ready to hunt! This timed event will test your dermpath skills and your clinical eye. We’ve got great prizes lined up for the 1st and 2nd place teams!
Details: The number of residents signed up will determine the number of teams, with a maximum of 5 teams. Teams must bring an answer sheet to each location they visit to verify that they have gotten the answers right. The entire team must be present to start the CPC questions.
Each location will have a Sagis Rep + Dermpath, where teams will have to work thru a multi-question CPC case and listen to a discussion from the Sagis Dermpath. CPC Questions will be loaded onto a surface pro (PPT deck) along with a clinical and histology image. Teams must answer 2-3 questions about the CPC at each location. Once a team determines the correct answer(s), the Dermpath will initial their answer sheet and provide them with the clue to the next site.
If attendees want to watch the event, they can cheer on their team from the hotel pool. Around 7:15, everyone moves to Congress St Bridge to watch the bats and see which team WINS!
The first team to have ALL the correct answers, initials from all of the dermpaths, and all of their team members to the Congress Street Bridge…. WINS the 1st annual Sagis Dermpath Scavenger Hunt!!!!!!!
If you are interested in participating in this scavenger hunt, please email laura.madole@texmed.org with your name, residency program, additional teammates who want to participate! You must be a TDS member and be registered for the conference to participate! (Registration & Membership is FREE!)
