Third-year dental students are shaking off their online fatigue by playing rounds of Jeopardy in their oral medicine course. The game, led by course directors David Ojeda Díaz, DDS, and Tiffany Tavares, DDS, both clinical assistant professors in the Department of Comprehensive Dentistry, was introduced to the students at the beginning of the spring semester when they were grouped into three teams of four. Throughout the semester, the teams completed weekly worksheets competing for one of two spots in the final Jeopardy round, which was held on Wednesday, April 21st. The top teams, “The Girlz” and “The Married Men”, battled in a high-stakes finale for the championship title and $50 gift cards to purchase new scrubs, sponsored by Dr. Ojeda Díaz, Dr. Tavares, Adriana Segura, DDS, MS, associate dean for academics, faculty and student affairs, and Stefanie Seitz, DDS, assistant dean for students. The game included topics such as San Antonio Facts, Beyond Lichen Planus, Dentistry in Entertainment, and Dental Facts. The match was also livestreamed through Canvas for the education and entertainment of the rest of the junior class. Please join Dr. Ojeda Díaz and Dr. Tavares in congratulating “The Girlz”, third-year dental students, Alla Diab, Shahla Mousavi, Jacqueline Sanders, and Lisa White for their championship title win, as well as their rival teams. • “The Married Men”: Isaac Bunker, John Swallow, Nick Smith, and Kameron Wilding • “Ian & the Girls”: Celia Rathmell, Ashley Wallace, Hannah Reed, and Ian Furlong How would you fare in a friendly round of Jeopardy!, oral medicine edition?
