The Didactic and Clinical cohorts celebrated the end of Spring semester by participating in the annual MSU PAS Trivia Bowl. This is the only event of the year where both cohorts get together to enjoy a much-needed fun event and knowledge challenge after their first semester. The theme of the event cheekily included Star Wars to celebrate May the 4th and helped all of the students to embrace their inner Force for the Bowl. Students from both cohorts took time to network and to discuss the challenges of PA school, but they also were able to enjoy pizza, snacks, and yummy deserts before participating in the knowledge-based competition. Ten teams took on a ten-category challenge bowl which covered everything from music and culture to PA School and medicine. Many of the teams dressed in themes, or in-line with the main theme of the event, with a group of Princess Leias from Alderaan winning the best-dressed award. In-between categories, Star Wars trivia helped many team-members win swag from generous community donors. In the end, Planet Bespin came out on top as the MSU PA Program Trivia Bowl Champions of 2023 and won bragging rights for the next 12 months along with some very nice prizes!
