Thanks to everyone who participated in our most recent events – the CMEpalooza STEPtacular Challenge last week and the CMEpalooza Scavenger Hunt during Wednesday’s live broadcasts. Here are the results:
CMEpalooza STEPtacular Challenge
We had a nice group of participants and a first-time winner of the grand prize, which was nice to see (no offense to the winners from past years).
Before we move on to the winners, a very special thank you to Talem Health for sponsoring the STEPtacular Challenge, again.
And now…onto the winners!
Winners of the STEPtacular drawing: $50 Amazon gift card (one entry for each daily screenshot showing over 10,000 steps)
- Riaz Baxamusa, CHCP, FACEHP, MBA, Associate Director, IME Grants, Astellas Pharma
- Amanda Glazar, PhD, CHCP, FACEHP, President, Alpine Group Consultants
- Heather Rossi, PhD, Scientific Writer and Editor
- Greg Salinas, PhD, FACEHP, President, CE Outcomes, LLC
- Amanda Jamrogiewicz, CHCP, Senior Director, Educational Strategy, US HealthConnect, Inc.
Winner of $250 Amazon gift card for most steps in one day
Vanessa Gray, Director of Continuing Medical Education at Des Moines University, wins for the first time with 32,064 steps, which I think is appropriate since she narrowly lost out to Riaz Baxamusa during the last challenge in our closest competition ever. Congrats Vanessa!
CMEpalooza Scavenger Hunt
Nearly 150 people successfully spelunked on the website of our event sponsor, Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning, to find the “hidden” CMEpalooza logo. There were five winners chosen in our random prize drawing, each of whom will receive a $100 Amazon gift card. Here are the lucky ones:
- Sandra Hannaford, Medical Editor, Vindico Medical Education
- Camille Ledoux, Science and Medical Writer
- Deborah Mitchell, CME Specialist, Northwestern Medicine
- Martha Russell, CHCP, Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives, ASHP
- Jennifer Epler, Biomedical Writer and Editor
As a service to the CME community (and bored people everywhere), we asked each entrant what current show they were binge watching. Here were the most popular responses in case you are looking to try out something new this weekend:
- The Residence
- Severance
- White Lotus
- The Pitt
- Bosch: Legacy
- Love on the Spectrum
- Black Mirror
- Paradise
- The Last of Us
