Chapter 44: Team Formation for the Semifinals!
October 7th, Thursday.
At 8:20 a.m., in the demonstration room on the third floor of the graduate student building.
The demonstration room was sparsely populated with people.
Chen Zhuoan and Su Xiheng sat side by side in the middle, on the left side.
Su Xiheng lowered her voice and asked, "An'an, do you think we can form a team?"
"Or maybe you shouldn't choose me?"
The Clinical Reasoning Skills Competition is a team-based competition. The preliminary round focuses on clinical reasoning, while the semi-final round integrates clinical reasoning skills.
In addition to accurate diagnosis, it is also necessary to complete the precise 'treatment' of the hypothetical patient!
Since it's a treatment, it's a team-based activity!
They usually work in teams of five to six.
It needs to bring together five areas: anesthesia, imaging, internal medicine, surgery, and team leader.
Of course, it's not fixed; you can form teams freely.
Chen Zhuoan: "Nonsense... I'm the captain, I can choose whoever I want, unless you disagree."
Su Xiheng chuckled sweetly, "What if I really don't agree?"
Chen Zhuoan leaned down and threatened in a low voice, "Then you'll have your day."
Su Xiheng's ears turned bright red, and she punched Chen Zhuoan lightly.
At 8:30, two professors from the graduate school walked in clapping, and after checking everyone's seating arrangement, they said:
"Everyone sit down in the middle, and those sitting on the sides should move closer to the center."
"First of all, on behalf of the Graduate School, I congratulate and welcome all students to the preparation stage for the semi-finals."
The crowd began to rustle as they carried their schoolbags and moved from their original positions.
The teacher was a middle-aged woman in her forties, slightly overweight, with a neat hairstyle: "Some of the students are old acquaintances, but there are still some new students."
"So, let me reiterate this year's team formation rules."
"Those who excel in the preliminary rounds demonstrate strong clinical diagnostic thinking and are well-suited to be team captains."
"The semi-finals are team-based, and each team captain needs to select their own team members."
"We typically recommend a team consisting of a team leader, a surgeon, an internist, an emergency room physician, and a radiologist."
"Only with such a combination can we accurately integrate the five dimensions and ultimately achieve good results."
"In the semi-finals, teamwork will be more important than individual ability."
"This is also the essence of clinical diagnosis and treatment."
"However, there are relatively few radiology and emergency room doctors among the students who have made it to the second round of interviews this time."
"Therefore... some students may need to temporarily change their competition status."
"Now, I will read out the list of team captains for this event."
"The top five are Chen Zhuoan, Liao Yuanzhong, Bao Lei, Liu Sixu, Guo Lele, and Wu Tang."
"The five of you were among the top performers in the preliminary rounds. Have you guys privately discussed forming a team?"
"If not, then the captain will definitely be one of you."
"If so, the team leader's order will be extended further down the line."
"During the provincial competition, our hospital will form five teams."
No one stood up to answer.
Half a minute later, Teacher Li said, "In that case, the team leader position can be determined."
"Next, please have the five team captains come to the front row."
"The others will line up according to their different majors, and you can choose your own team leader..."
"Ideally, the team members should come from different majors."
Chen Zhuoan and the others immediately stood up. Under Su Xiheng's smiling gaze, Chen Zhuoan stood on the far left side of the classroom.
After exchanging glances with Chen Zhuoan a few times, Su Xiheng stood up and went to join the internal medicine team.
In this competition, internal medicine had the most finalists, with a total of eighteen, accounting for half of the total.
Only nine surgeons made the cut; the remaining nine are from other specialties besides internal medicine and surgery.
Teacher Li then said, "Next is the free team formation session. Team members who have already agreed with the team leader, please come up in advance and fill in your names."
"If there are overlapping specializations within the team, the team leader will decide..."
One by one, people started going up on stage and writing their names on the back of the team leader's name.
However, there aren't many people like this.
The postgraduate skills competition spans too many majors and grades, so almost no one knows each other.
That's why the Graduate School organizes a 'training camp' after the preliminary round!
After Teacher Li announced the start of the team leader selection process, everyone lined up and walked forward, writing down their preferred team leader and team.
About ten minutes later, the statistical results came out.
Because Chen Zhuoan's preliminary test score was far ahead, the number of people who wanted to join his group was the largest.
Teacher Li then asked, "Chen Zhuoan, there are three members planned for your group's internal medicine team. They are..."
Chen Zhuoan replied, "Teacher, Su Xiheng."
Chen Zhuoan's quick answer made Teacher Li frown: "There's no Su Xiheng."
Chen Zhuoan glanced at Su Xiheng, who silently lowered her head.
Chen Zhuoan walked directly off the podium: "Teacher Li, for the internal medicine team, I choose Su Xiheng."
"The other members can be paired up randomly; we'll work on their teamwork gradually."
Chen Zhuoan was certain that Su Xiheng hadn't chosen him as captain, and she certainly wouldn't choose anyone else; she had just gone through the motions.
Teacher Li reminded Chen Zhuoan, "Su Xiheng's preliminary test scores are relatively low."
Chen Zhuoan came to Su Xiheng's side and helped her up: "Teacher Li, I know."
"Su Xiheng's preliminary test score ranked her last. If other students or senior students think our team is unreliable, we can make a decision later."
Hearing Chen Zhuoan's choice, everyone in the classroom could probably understand the relationship between Chen Zhuoan and Su Xiheng.
Some people can understand it, while others cannot.
Someone raised their hand: "Teacher, my name is Kuang Yongyue. Please move my name to the second line."
"Teacher, I'd like to switch too. I'll go to the third line. My name is Liu Cheng'an."
……
Teacher Li crossed out the names of these people as she looked for them.
At that moment, Liao Yuanzhong, the second team leader, adjusted his glasses and reminded her, "Dr. Chen, clinical reasoning competitions are not child's play."
"If you just pick any team members, you might not even make it past the provincial competition."
Chen Zhuoan smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother Liao. I knew that was possible."
Chen Zhuoan pulled Su Xiheng to the front and made her stand beside him.
We're all PhDs and Masters degree holders, and we're all adults.
Therefore, no one else had any further objections.
Although Su Xiheng was a drag on the team, Chen Zhuoan was still the first place winner in the preliminary test.
In clinical reasoning skills competitions, clinical reasoning comes first, so accurate diagnosis is the top priority during the competition, and the score for skills demonstration is relatively less important!
Therefore, Chen Zhuoan still formed his own team.
Captain, Chen Zhuoan.
Internal Medicine: Su Xiheng, Peng Ying.
surgical:-
Radiology Department: Han Yuanyuan.
Emergency room: Fu Yongbing.
After Liao Yuanzhong and the others formed their own teams, Teacher Li spoke to the few who hadn't yet formed teams.
"The remaining students don't need to be discouraged; you can still enter the intensive training phase."
"You can automatically form a team and still represent the hospital in the provincial competition, and you can still participate in training camps."
"This training camp is both preparation for the competition and a bonus reward from the Graduate School for your outstanding performance."
"The other five teams should not be complacent. In the end, it is still unknown whether the five captains with better preliminary results can lead their teams through the provincial competition."
"Hunan Province only has two teams to participate in the national competition this time. Your opponents are not only each other, but also teams from the Second Hospital, the Third Hospital, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Hengshui University."
"Next... let's invite Professor Chen, the director of our Department of Internal Medicine, to plan and arrange the training intensively—"
When Teacher Li spoke like that, she was actually looking at Chen Zhuoan.
In her view, Chen Zhuoan's direct selection of Su Xiheng as a member of the internal medicine team was extremely inappropriate.
