How does a Virtual Case Competition work?

 

We are excited to offer the case competition at this special time! Each team will prepare slides and record a ~15 minutes video presentation. The first-round judges will review the videos on their preferred time within a week, and each team will then take a 10-minute Q&A session onlinewith the judges. The teams advancing to the final round will be decided by slides quality, presentation delivery, and Q&A performance.

In the final round, teams will have another Q&A session with final-round judges. Again, judges will consider all aspects of a team to give their final decision.

​

Who can participate in the competition?

Graduate students, MDs, MBAs from participating institutions. The competition will have several teams representing members of all organizing clubs.
