Students, join the CLARION Case Competition!
The UW Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education, Research and Practice (CHSIE) is excited to announce that we are recruiting a small team of health professional students to participate in the 2021 CLARION National Case Competition!
The University of Washington’s 2014 CLARION National Case Competition first place winners. From left to right: Eric Sid, Nicole Kim, Huang N. Le and Juan P. Magana.
The case competition is designed to give healthcare students real-life interprofessional teamwork experience, and involves a nation-wide competition in which the UW team will compete against other student teams from across the country.
Students will participate on a team of four people, each representing different health professions. Teams conduct a root-cause analysis surrounding a case-based, fictionalized sentinel event. Teams then develop a solution proposal based on their analysis. On the competition days (April 9-10, 2021), teams present their findings and recommendations to a panel of judges representing leaders from various professions within the healthcare industry.
Students will grow their skills in collaboration, and tangible experience working on a team. Plus, there’s a fun element of friendly competition and the winning teams even get a team scholarship (1st place: $7,500, 2nd place: $5,000, 3rd place: $2,500)!
Time commitment:
- Students should be able to commit approximately 40 hours of work towards the competition, between February 6 and April 9.
- Students should be available to attend the virtual case competition on April 9-10, 2021.
Application process:
- CHSIE will select a team through an online application process.
- Please submit your application no later than 5pm on December 25, 2020.
- We will notify you of your acceptance by January 11, 2021.
