Competition Logistics
Teams will be divided into 'tracks' on competition day. One winner will be selected from each track to compete in the final round. All participants should be present for the entire duration of the competition (8 AM - 3 PM CST). Teams will give a 10 minute prerecorded presentation followed by a Q&A session from the judges. If selected to move to the final round, teams will be expected to give a live presentation for the judges. The top three winning teams will receive a prize.
All Logistics for Case Reveal and Case Competition will be sent over email and through the slack group. Instructions on how to join the slack group will be sent to all those who have successfully registered.
The overall winning team will attend the 2021 International Global Health Case Competition, held virtually on March 12 - 21, 2021
