MindGames, APA's national residency team competition, is a fun way for residents to test their knowledge on patient care, medical knowledge, and psychiatric history while earning bragging rights for their program.
A qualifying online exam will be accessible in February 2026. Programs who wish to participate will choose three residents to form their program team. The selected residents must be APA members to qualify. The team will complete the timed online examination together – 125 multiple choice questions in 60 minutes. Questions will follow the ABPN Part 1 content outline. The top 10 teams are announced at the AADPRT meeting in March. The three highest scoring teams with the fastest posted time will advance to compete in the live national competition at APA’s Annual Meeting in May.
Congratulations to the 2026 MindGames Winners!
- Moises Riveron, M.D. – Program Director
- Tajudeen Basiru, M.D. – Team Captain
