Three Dalhousie Health Administration students are getting ready to put their training to the test at the 8^th Annual Health Administration Case Competition at the University of Alabama. From February 26^th to 28^th, Vicky Smith, Jennie Ding and Andrew Milligan will be in Birmingham, Alabama networking and competing with graduate students from across North America.

The Case Competition provides graduate students from accredited health administration programs the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice with a real-life, real-time case. Each team has three weeks to prepare a scenario for judging. Past cases have included such things as replacing a hospital facility or improving an emergency department. Each team prepares an executive summary, power point and handout material and presents their recommendations to a panel of judges.

This is the first time the School of Health Administration has sent a team to the Case Competition and the Faculty of Health Professions wishes the best of luck to Vicky, Jennie and Andrew as well as their coaches Robert Zed and Michael Hadskis and student observer Bennett Jovaisas!
