Jeopardy!
"Anesthesia Jeopardy!" has been around since 1991 and
many former residents and faculty have enjoyed playing. Jeff Schwartz
has created a combination of hardware, software and crafted questions
that allow participants and audiences to play in the style of the
popular game show. The direct descendant of David Silverman's "College
Bowl", it has been an annual June treat for the department.
In recent years, "Anesthesia Jeopardy!" has been seen
at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine
and Duke University. This year "Anesthesia Jeopardy!"
was hosted by the Connecticut State Society of Anesthesiologists.
Try your skill at these selected categories from Anesthesia Jeopardy.
But remember - it's always easier at home!
