GI Jeopardy This year will mark the nineteenth year of the GI Jeopardy competition, which remains very successful and more and more popular among trainees. The online preliminary (pre-test) round of GI Jeopardy ran early-July through early-August and 149 GI training programs participated. This preliminary competition resulted in 5 teams being invited to the live competition, based on the number of questions correctly answered and, if necessary, the amount of time spent taking the test. The finalists this year are Baylor College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (Jacksonville), Scripps Clinic / Scripps Green Hospital, University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics and University of North Carolina Hospitals. Each of these programs was invited to designate two competitors for the final round on Saturday, October 23rd. Qualifying teams received airfare and housing for the Las Vegas meeting. The winning team members from the live Jeopardy competition will each receive a $1,000 travel grant toward the 2022 Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. We expect another spirited competition this year with audience participation questions, so come prepared to help out during the live competition! 2020–2021 ACG AWARDS & LEADERSHIP | 85
