2021 Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition

Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition


Competition Day for the 2022 Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition took place on March 19. More than 40 teams from 15 countries and six continents went head-to-head from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. 

The case topic was "Taking on Environmental Health Disparities: Developing Health Action Plans to Improve the Health of Indigenous Peoples."

The case imagined that funding had been made available for addressing health inequities in four populations: French Polynesia; Diné (Navajo); Rohingya; or Inuit. Teams served as representatives of organizations that advocate for the rights of Indigenous peoples and develop strategies and goals for addressing environmental health disparities. 

The contest was renamed to signify a deepening of the long-standing partnership between Emory University and the Morningside Foundation. Together we are advancing global health and training the next generation of global health leaders.
