For the second year in a row, Easton Hospital surgical residents bested the competition to become the regional champions in "Surgical Jeopardy".

The local hospital's doctors Stanley Ogu and Nils-Tomas McBride took first place honors at the event, which was held earlier this month at Geisinger Henry Hood Center for Health Research in Danville.

The competition included teams from seven hospitals around the region, including teams from Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's, said Easton Hospital marketing director Stephen Wilson.

Wilson added that the competition, designed to help surgeons prepare for their upcoming board examinations, has become so popular that residency programs in Pennsylvania must apply and be accepted to compete.

Ogu and Dr. Aniket Sakharpe were the champions last year.

The trophy is on display in Easton Hospital in the case near the cafeteria.
