Global Health Case Competitions

Engaging students in global health through experiential learning

Global Health Case Competitions

Emory Global Health Institute’s Case Competitions offer students from the university and around the world the opportunity to collaborate on innovative, multidisciplinary solutions to current global health issues.

EGHI hosts two preeminent events each year: the Intramural Emory Global Health Case Competition, exclusive to Emory students, and the Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition, welcoming participants from universities worldwide.

The competitions, funded in part by The Morningside Foundation and The Marcus Foundation, offer unique opportunities for participants to build critical public health, health delivery, and entrepreneurial skills to prepare the next generation of global health leaders.
