Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition Application

For the 2025 competition, applications will be accepted from 12:00 PM (ET) Monday, October 21, until 5:00 PM (ET) Monday, November 25, 2024.

The APPLY link will be activated at 12:00 PM (ET) on October 21, 2024.

EGHI will communicate with each team regarding its application status once the application period closes. There is no fee to apply.

Four to six students compose a team; students must represent at least three different schools or disciplines with the university. Medical residents, post-graduate fellows, and post-doctoral fellows affiliated with the university are also eligible.

One multidisciplinary student team per university may compete. Universities can select their team members in whatever manner they prefer.

EGHI encourages universities hold intramural global health case competitions to select a team to send to the Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition. Any university can use EGHI's case competition guide to help it plan its own intramural competition.

The competition has two rounds:

• First-round Deliverables: Slide deck of presentation and live, 12-minute presentation followed by 8-minute question and answer session (Q&A) with first-round judges
• Second-round Deliverable: Slide deck of presentation and live, 12-minute presentation incorporating a case twist, with 8 minutes of Q&A with final-round judges
• Teams also submit a one-page executive summary of their case solution.

During the competition week, teams are free to work on their case solutions. Each team meets virtually for one hour with a case advisor, who provides feedback on their draft. Teams may also schedule a one-hour communication consultation to discuss communication deliverables and best practices. Team members can seek feedback from other experts in the field on their ideas but must generate case solution ideas themselves.

The case subject is announced to all registered teams eight days before the competition. The case may include issues such as healthcare policy, public health implementation and planning, business partnership/investment, medical research, international development, logistics and management, faith/cultural understanding, international law, and other disciplines. To view past case subjects, see Case Competition Summaries.

There is no cost to apply. Once a team has been accepted to participate in the competition, a non-refundable registration fee is required. The registration fee rates per team are based on the income level of the country in which the university is located. Income levels are based on World Bank data and follow the Consortium of Universities for Global Health's model regarding the percentage of the full registration fee that teams from MICs and LICs are expected to pay.

Registration fees

• High-Income Countries (HICs): $1,000 (USD)
• Middle-Income Countries (MICs): $500
• Low-Income Countries (LICs): $250

For country income level, please see:
