Eighteen UWSOP teams competed in round one of this year's ASHP Clinical Skills Competition.
Teams of two students were given two hours to work up a patient case and prepare a written care plan for that patient. Then the teams presented their case to a panel of expert judges, Drs. Doug Black, Lingtak Chan, and Elizabeth James.
This year, the judges followed a different format for evaluation. Teams of first- and second-year students were given verbal feedback on their performance to better prepare them for future competitions. Teams of third- and fourth-year students were evaluated numerically.
A special thank you goes out to our judges for donating their time to make this event possible, to our ASHP Liaisons Stephanie and Sophia for organizing the event, and to the competitors for their participation.
The winners, Brent Leithauser and Zach Conroy, both of the class of 2011, will go on to represent UWSOP at the national competition in Disneyland! Good luck guys!
Now that can be a good preparation for the student for situations like emergencies. Making them practice under precious can be a good practice, I hope they don't do it to win a race in the real situation in the future though.
