The Pathophysiador competition takes its name from the well-known interactive game Triviador (also known as Honfoglaló), which inspired the creation of a custom-made educational version. The competition was held for the third time on Ocober 19th, giving participants the opportunity to once again test their knowledge, creativity, and strategic thinking. This year, 17 teams and 4 individual contestants took part in the event, clearly demonstrating its growing popularity.

Pathophysiology is not just another subject; it is one of the foundations of medicine. Understanding it is essential not only for exams but also for shaping a medical mindset. Artificial intelligence once again played an important role in organizing the event. The questions generated by AI were carefully reviewed by the Pathophysiador team to ensure their accuracy. This collaboration between technology and human expertise made the competition one of the most exciting examples of modern medical education, proving once again that technology complements and enhances learning by opening new horizons.

The contest tested not only factual knowledge but also quick decision-making, teamwork, and analytical reasoning. Participants arrived with a variety of strategies, yet they all shared the same dedication and curiosity.

Top-performing contestants:

First place: Tibor Csonka and Adrienn Meggyes

Second place: Jakob Heiberg Johansen and Silje Veholt

Third place: Astha Goyal and Janbolat Aishuakh, Habane Ali Abdi and Hadi Zameri, Kirshath Parthepan and Malin Fangen Sjule

The winners demonstrated not only outstanding knowledge but also teamwork, speed, and perseverance. Thanks to the support of the Circle of Demonstrators (DDK) and the Student Council (HÖK), diverse prizes were awarded to the best performers. However, the greatest reward was not the material recognition but the sense of community and intellectual experience. Throughout the competition, a community emerged that was defined by a shared dedication to knowledge, mutual learning, and the joy of discovery.

The event was coordinated by the Institute of Translational Medicine under the leadership of Dr. András Garami, Dr. Aba Lőrincz, and Benedek Kasza. Valuable assistance was provided by demonstrators Akari Sugihara, Georgia Valentine, Hanabi Tada, Fanni Dóra Kiss, Mohadeseh Zahediyan, Kazushi Ogasawara, Márton Papp, Abdulrahman Shubail, Yashwanth S. Gowda, and Zafar Hussain Mohammad Ihsan Giffry.

Pathophysiador has now become a tradition, inspiring more and more students each year to explore the intricate connections of pathophysiology in greater depth. The organizers promise that next year will bring even more challenges, knowledge, and memorable experiences for all participants.
