My name is Dr. Thomas and I am currently thirty-five years old. I attended Harvard University for my undergraduate years and Medical School (1999-2010). I am now working at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. I am proud to say I am part of the Survivor MD (2011) because it allows me to compete with others of equal stature in order to test our knowledge on our medical specialty. In order to successfully complete this competition I know having interpersonal, visual/spatial, intrapersonal, and linguistic skills will benefit my tribe. (Pravitha)

My name is Dr. Caldwell and I am currently 30 years old. I attended Johns Hopkins University for both my undergraduate and graduate years (Medical School). I am now working at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. I am proud to say I am part of the Survivor MD (2011) because it allows me to compete with others while assessing my skills. In order to successfully complete this competition I know having interpersonal, visual/spatial, intrapersonal, speaking skills, and competitiveness skills will enable my tribe to do well. (Steven)

The doctors participated in a challenge that allowed them to compete other doctors while in the middle of an island in the Atlantic Ocean. They participated in challenges that consisted of problem solving, teamwork, and creativity. In addition, they have to go through a series of challenges in order to reach the end of the Survivor Challenge (2011). The doctors have to work with their tribes to successfully complete each challenge.

Our tribe worked well together because we were able to work together in a orderly yet competitive manner. No, my tribe did not have problems making bios or using the Google form. However, there was some difficulty making the logos because we did not know how to design our logo. Overall, the survivor challenge was both good and a little difficult.
