1. Tropical Medical Cases: Non-Surgical - Jeopardy Game
Medical missions are often challenging because of cross-cultural exposure to unfamiliar diseases in settings with limited diagnostic resources. Common tropical illnesses and parasites are generally unfamiliar to US trained providers. This session will involve teams working on tropical medicine vignettes in a Jeopardy game format. It is also an attempt to model effective teaching and learning tools using interactive, engaging and fun dynamics. Come and enjoy the game. Submit your own short mystery case if you want it shared with the group.
