A board game portrays the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of an intern and is played on a board simulating a large teaching hospital. There are a plurality of major specialty departments and each player represents the intern from one department. At the start of the game each intern has plural patients in the Emergency Room awaiting admission to the specialty ward. The object of the game is for the intern to admit all of his patients by landing on appropriate patient spaces while traversing a path on the board and then diagnose and dispose of the patient by the use of diagnostic and treatment cards accumulated during the game. Disposition may involve treating the patient within the intern's own department, or transferring the patient to another intern's service where the illness could better be treated. While working towards these ends, the intern is obliged to answer all pages received, in the form of cards which are picked in response to landing on paging spaces, and to handle all complications as they arise. The game ends when any intern successfully discharges all the patients admitted or transferred to his service. The winner is that intern who through knowledge and efficiency has accumulated the most free time, in the form of scrip.
