Proposal
The Health Policy Student Association (HPSA) and the Michigan Healthcare Executive Student Association (MHESA) at the University of Michigan (U-M) are organizing the inaugural University of Michigan Health Policy Case Competition. As health issues disrupt communities in Michigan and around the nation, we are seeking to challenge students at the U-M to respond with creative evidence-based policy ideas to confront health topics of interest to your organization. We invite you to collaborate with HPSA and MHESA to help sponsor this inaugural event.
Student Deliverables
Students are often judged on two products in their response to the policy case. These deliverable requirements may change year to year. Please refer to the case instructions for more information.
