Since its inception the NAHSE Annual Everett V. Fox Student Case Competition (“Case Competition”) has been dedicated to providing graduate-level students with an educational experience that enhances their problem analysis and presentation skills.
Registration opens May 1, 2018
The Case Competition is a scholarship program, where graduate programs in Health Administration, Business Administration and Public Health are invited to form teams of 1-3 students. Student teams are given a unique case study and are charged with applying their creativity, knowledge and experience to analyze the diverse and real situations facing the healthcare organization featured in the case.
In addition to the competition, participation in the Case Competition allows students the opportunity to display their skills before prospective employers and to build their professional network. The Case Competition program also includes networking events where students are encouraged to network with judges and sponsors, as well as with general conference attendees in order to strengthen their peer-to-peer and professional network contacts.
The Case Competition is made possible through generous sponsorship of healthcare organizations across the country. With the support of our sponsor partners, NAHSE has provided over $400,000 in scholarship awards to deserving students. As a corporate sponsor of the 19th Annual Everett V. Fox Student Case Competition, your organization will realize the following immediate and long-term benefits:
All participating student teams shall be composed of at least one (1), preferably more, African American students.
Three weeks prior to the Competition each team receives the case study to analyze and form recommendations.
During the Competition, each team has twenty (20) minutes to present their analysis and recommendations, which is followed by a ten (10) minute questions and answer period.
Presentations are made before a panel of judges representing leaders in the health care field, corporate sponsors and academia.
