EM-iQ 2.0 was a really nice and interesting event organized by our Emergency Department. The quiz ‘had it all’ ranging from good thought provoking and practical questions to a creative way of asking them, adding to the thrill and excitement. Rounds and the selection process were well organized. Apart from minor glitches here and there, I had a really great experience participating and experiencing some adrenaline rush and wonderful quizzing.
