NAHSE Everett V. Fox Student Case Competition

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. The teams are given the specific facts and raw data related to the case, from which they are expected to reach decisions as outlined in the case assignment. Past cases have been focused on healthcare organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, The Mayo Clinic, Catholic Health Initiatives, St. John Health System, Trinity Health System, University of Maryland Medical System, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), GE Healthcare, Catholic Health Partners, and most recently Ochsner Health. The teams present their case findings and recommendations before panels of judges representing leaders in the healthcare field. 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 Everett V. Fox Student Case Competition, your organization will participate in the professional development of minority graduate students in pursuit of careers in healthcare management.
