What is the National Case Study Competition in Health Education®?
Every year, NCSCHE® brings together up to 50 teams (30 undergrad and 20 grad) from leading universities to compete in solving a real-life challenge. Three weeks prior to the competition, students and their advisor will be emailed a community-based public health case. Students work independently to develop a resolution to the issue and a presentation for a panel of judges. Teams will have free reign to address the issue as they see fit, but generally they will have to show competence in the NCHEC Core Competencies for a Health Education Specialist. Students present to a panel of judges, given approximately 15 minutes to present, and then 10 minutes for questions from the panel.
Eta Sigma Gamma, SOPHE, and NCHEC are now partnering with the National Case Study Competition in Health Education® (NCSCHE®).
