ABOUT
The UCLA Center for Healthcare Management Case Competition provides healthcare management graduate students an opportunity to put what they have learned into practice. Student teams (up to four members) from around the world are challenged to provide solutions and recommendations to a real-time, real-world management challenge faced by a Southern California healthcare system. Teams have 88 hours in November to complete their analyses and the top eight teams visit Los Angeles to present their ideas to healthcare leaders in January. This format enables the exchange and dissemination of ideas, as well as professional networking.
FIRST PLACE: $12,000
SECOND PLACE: $8,000
THIRD PLACE: $4,000
FOURTH PLACE: $2,000
Tickets to the final presentations will be available in January.
