This…is (Resident) Jeopardy: Miller School Trainees Triumph Again
Miller School Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine residents won the Florida Society of Pathologists “Resident Jeopardy” competition for the second consecutive year.
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine trainees triumphed in “Resident Jeopardy” for the second consecutive year at the 51st annual conference of the Florida Society of Pathologists (FSP).
The convivial competition is one of the conference’s most popular events, and the Miller School’s triumph confers pathology trainee bragging rights for another year.
Five Miller School residents were invited to the FSP conference as presenters, with Felipe Camacho, M.D., awarded first place in the “Rare and Interesting Case Competition.” Lin Li, M.D., Ph.D., Ateeqa Mujeeb Ullah, M.D., and Atilla Molnar, M.D., swept the top three spots in the FSP conference poster awards.
“This was a culmination of a lot of challenging work by all involved,” said Carmen Gomez-Fernandez, M.D., clinical professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and the department’s vice chair of education and trainee mentoring and director of undergraduate pathology medical education. “Kudos to our trainees and their mentors.”
Dr. Gomez-Fernandez recently co-directed the 49th annual Pathology on the Beach conference. During the FSP conference, Dr. Gomez-Fernandez began her two-year term as the organization’s president. In her role, Dr. Gomez-Fernandez will guide the fulfillment of FSP’s mission to represent the interests of patients, the public and pathologists by promoting excellence in pathology services in Florida, educate members about the latest scientific developments in pathology and promote state and national legislative initiatives that will encourage excellence in pathology services and protect medical services for the public in the State of Florida.
“We could not have been prouder not only of the success of our trainees but also in the recognition of the leadership of Dr. Gomez-Fernandez in this very important organization,” said Merce Jorda, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., professor and J.R. Coulter Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Miller School,
