UVA Global Health Case Competition
Designing real interventions to spark full-scale research projects
The UVA intramural Global Health Case Competition is an event designed to prompt UVA undergraduate and graduate students to recognize their unique individual potentials for contributing to the needs of global health and become empowered to address these needs in their future careers.
Testimonials from Previous Participants
- “The case was an excellent opportunity for my team and I to get exposed to Global Public Health and the challenges people face in different parts of the world… The key to success for us was meeting with the people from South Africa and heeding their advice.” — Anand C., Winner, 2023
- “Even as someone whose interests lie outside of global and public health, the interdisciplinary creativity that the competition demanded allowed me to integrate my knowledge in ways I otherwise would not have considered….The competition was surely intellectually rewarding.” — Jason S., Finalist, 2021
- “I found that the competition has not only given me an opportunity to apply the frameworks we use in class but has pushed me to do so while also prioritizing equity in policymaking.” — Paige, Winner, 2021
