Registration Deadline Extended: Global Health Case Competition
Registration extended through April 1!
What is the North Carolina Global Health Case Competition?
The North Carolina Global Health Case Competition provides a venue for North Carolina’s university students from multiple disciplines to develop innovative solutions for a specified global health problem. The case competition allows teams of four to six students to work through a real-life case scenario and develop succinct, strategic recommendations for improving a global health issue. Teams have four days to work on the case study to eventually compete against other universities by presenting their recommendations to a distinguished panel of judges. All team members will be recognized for their participation, and a monetary prize will be awarded to first and second place proposals.
Why participate?
The Global Health Case Competition is a great way to initiate dialogue and foster interdisciplinary approaches to global health on campus, as well as raise awareness among students, faculty, and staff. This competition also provides an opportunity to meet other students and global health professionals in North Carolina, while exploring some of the ethical, cultural, and economic issues surrounding global health policy logistics, development, and implementation. All team members will be recognized for their participation, and a monetary prize will be awarded to first, second and third place proposals, with a total of $2,500 available to win.
Who can participate?
Students (graduate and undergraduate) from all North Carolina universities are encouraged to participate in multidisciplinary, multi-school teams to ensure that interdisciplinary skills are represented on each team. Teams will be comprised of four to six students from three or more Duke schools. Students can sign up as individuals or in a team. Students who register as individuals will be grouped together to form interdisciplinary teams.
