The Ol-EM-pics are an amazing opportunity for EM residents to team build, strengthen leadership skills, learn about the business of EM and most importantly network and have tons of FUN! The format will be several “competitions” ranging from scavenger hunts, to case-based simulation competitions as well as some physical team Building races and competitions. Each residency team can only have EIGHT residents at each individual competition (if more than eight residents attend they may all rotate into the competitions to help their residency compete).
Teams that dress creatively will receive extra points! The competition will be all day, Sunday, April 16 beginning at 7:00am, immediately followed by a member mixer at 4:00pm where the Gold, Silver and Bronze teams will be announced.
OL-EM-PICS RULES:
In an effort to maintain fairness for all the residents who are working hard, we would not want any team to have an advantage; therefore all participants competing in the Ol-EM-pics competitions can not have participated in Ol-EM-pics events in previous years.
Teams that dress creatively will receive extra points! Costumes/group shirts encouraged! Points for most creative shirts/costumes, but must be able to run, crawl, carry heavy things, etc; wear something to do athletic events in.
* Need to wear running/athletic shoes.
* Need to have baseline athletic abilities.

* Minimum number of residents needed per team is 6, but 8 is preferred.
