Huntington, WV (HNN) -- The official scoreboard tells the story: When students from the state's medical schools competed in the recent state-level American College of Physicians Doctor's Dilemma Competition, the team from Marshall's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine walked away with a decisive win.
After leading in the first round of the "medical jeopardy" competition, the team stretched its lead in the second round, then emerged as an 1,191-point victor after correctly answering the final question. Shown here with faculty sponsor Dr. Lynne Goebel (right) are team members Nathan Hill of Huntington (holding scoreboard), Brent Glover from Franklin (lower right), Coben Thorn from Mullens and Andrea Orvik from Weston.
Two physicians in Marshall's internal medicine residency program also won recognition during the ACP meeting: Dr. Tae Hoon Lee had the winning case presentation and Dr. Yousef Darrat won the research competition.
The events were part of the 2009 West Virginia Chapter Scientific Meeting of the American College of Physicians, held earlier this month in Huntington.
