Below are the slide decks for the second and third place finishers of the 2022 Intramural Emory Global Health Case Competition. These slide decks were designed for 10-minute presentations. We are not sharing the slide deck for the 1st place team because that Emory team is participating in this competition.

Please note that these are 10-minute videos that the teams produced as their first-round deliverables, not videos of their 10-minute final-round presentations. The deliverables for the 2022 competition are live presentations, not videos. However, these videos may be helpful as they give you examples of what good case solutions look like.

Please note that these presentations were 12-minute presentations, as opposed to the 10-minute presentations that 2022 teams will produce. Additionally, there were only five finalists in 2020. And finally, due to the way these presentations were submitted, the university name is shown on the presentations. The 2020 judges did not see the electronic versions of these presentation, and as such, did not see the names of the universities. 2022 teams should NOT provide any identifying information on their slide decks aside from their team numbers and the names of their team members.

general information
The Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition brings together students from diverse disciplines and multiple countries to address a real-world global health challenge. Multidisciplinary students teams work together for one week to develop comprehensive case solutions to the hypothetical but relevant global health challenge presented to them. Student teams present their case solutions to an external panel of judges on competition day.
Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that many countries still do not have readily available access to COVID-19 vaccines, the Emory Global Health Institute (EGHI) has decided to host the competition completely virtually for another year. The 2022 competition will take place March 11-19, 2022. EGHI will host up to 60 teams in the 2022 competition.
While we will remain connected only by computer screen, EGHI promises to provide student teams a great global health case challenge, opportunities to network virtually with each other and with professionals from numerous fields who will serve as case advisors, and the chance to win cash prizes!
