2018 Global Health Case Competition
Improving the Lives of Inhabitants of Chinese "Cancer Villages"
GHCC @ UVA
The UVA Global Health Case Competition aims to inspire creativity and innovation in addressing complex and relevant global health challenges. Student teams have 5 days to engage with the case and the opportunity to vet ideas with an academic or professional with relevant insight.
The case competitors are asked to design new strategies to address a multitude of issues facing inhabitants of Chinese "cancer villages".
GHCC Case
The case has deliberately been designed to be complex and gives teams a vast range of problems to choose from and prioritize. The 12 judges and 10 UVA-affiliated mentors expect teams to prioritize strategies and to justify their choices during their presentation. The case analysis, inter-disciplinary collaboration, and formal persuasive presentation are all important activities to help train global health leaders for the future. The winning team will attend the Consortium of Universities for Global Health's annual global health conference in New York City.
Team "International Health Catalyzers" will be attending the CUGH Annual Global Health Conference on March 15-18.
Congratulations!
International Health Catalyzers: Jacqueline Corbitt, Jennifer Ji, Iker Etchegaray, Morgan Mendis, Charlie Punches
