Tulane Health Policy Case Competition

The Tulane Health Policy Case Competition allows teams of undergraduate students to apply their talents and knowledge to put together a solution to a given health policy program. Students will have an opportunity to interact with school faculty in the course of constructing their solutions. Top teams will present their solutions to a panel of experts for detailed feedback.

Teams of up to three undergraduate students create policy-based solutions to a given problem. A workshop will be provided shortly after the case is released. Teams will construct PowerPoint presentations on solutions to the problem. Finalists will present to a panel of judges for real-time feedback.

2024 Case Prompt

This case asks teams of undergraduate students to apply the lens of health policy analysis to the crisis of injuries in New Orleans. New Orleans is in one of the lowest-ranked counties for years of life lost to injury according to county health rankings. While much attention has been paid to injuries due to gun violence, other areas of injury (e.g., roadway deaths, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.)  In this scenario, the city has set aside $500,000 annually for an innovative solution to address these excess deaths. A good policy will leverage existing city infrastructure as appropriate and include detailed breakdowns of the costs of the policy package.

Award

Each member of the winning team will receive $1,000 in cash
