Students Engaged in Global Health (SEGH) and the Health Policy Student Association (HPSA), student organizations sponsored by the School of Public Health, are hosting the first annual Global Health Case Competition. The purpose of this event is to highlight global health at the University and engage students in a multidisciplinary, real-world exercise. The case scenario will require the use of creative thinking across different disciplines. Teams of three to four students from different schools and disciplines will work over the course of a week to develop an innovative solution to a pre-designed scenario. The teams will then present to a panel of experts from within and outside the University, competing for cash prizes and the opportunity to represent the University of Michigan at a virtual case competition hosted by Emory University later in the semester. Winners will not only receive cash prizes, but also gain valuable experience working to tackle a complex problem with limited time and resources. We hope to see students learn more about the topic area and develop skills that will translate well into their careers in the future.
