November 13, 2006 — Do you know what the condition “Dacrocystitis” means? That answer (inflammation of the tear gland) and
several other medical conditions came in handy for students representing the Charles Drew University Physician Assistant Program, who recently won the California Academy of Physician Assistant (CAPA) Student Medical Challenge Bowl. |
| |
| Held during the 30th Anniversary CAPA Conference in Palm Springs, California, the Challenge Bowl consisted of seven |
|
|
|

universities including USC and Stanford with a total of five students representing each PA program per team. The competition was a two-round jeopardy-style contest consisting of 15 questions each. Students were quizzed on a full range of topics revolving around the field of medicine including diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. The winning team received $1500 for their student organization and has the privilege of displaying the Challenge Bowl Trophy at their program location for the year. |
