PEER Ultimate Championship Rounds. The final four programs will compete in Las Vegas during ACEP24 in the new Battle Docs Arena in the Exhibit Hall – an intense gaming area with stadium seating for the crowds to cheer you on, hype music to get the adrenaline pumping, and the kind of pressure you were built for.

The Competition

Each round features clinical questions from the PEER suite of board prep content. Every match will be moderated by one of the PEER Editors-in-Chief.

Speed matters - the quicker a question is answered, the more points earned.

Multiple residents from each program can play in the first three rounds – the program’s score is averaged, and different residents can play in each round.

The Prizes

• Complimentary registration for four residents to ACEP24 for the final four residency programs
• Free PEERprep for Programs for the entire winning program for the 2025-2026 academic year
• Bragging rights for an entire year (you may even want to consider buying yourself some championship bling!)
