TESTIMONIALS
Without a doubt the NAHSE Student Case Competition has accelerated my career and provided me a platform to connect with the industry’s brightest minds. My interest in behavioral health and telemedicine was birthed through my involvement in the student competition two years ago as our case was based on both concepts. I can genuinely say that in all of my educational training I have not encountered a task that challenged me and brought out the best in me as much as the Student Case Competition did. The skills that I developed in critical thinking, data analysis, strategic planning and problem solving have already proven to be very useful to me in my fellowship and have elevated my standard of performance on the job. The rate of change that our health care industry is experiencing due to technological innovation and social pressure is unprecedented, and NAHSE does a fantastic job at challenging its students to rise to the occasion and develop creative, multi-dimensional approaches to address the industry’s toughest problems. I give my highest endorsement and recommendation of the Student Case Competition program!

The NAHSE Case Competition was such a positive growth experience. I was somewhat used to cases because of the structure of the curriculum, but the case competition was a different beast. The process of identifying the core problem, as opposed to symptoms, then constructing a plan that is fiscally, operationally, and culturally sound, in only three weeks, was the truest application of my foundation to solve real problems faced by a real health system. Having the opportunity to present all of our hard work and showcase our innovative ideas for health professionals and executives was priceless. I can say that the competition was great for learning, “real-life” exposure, building professional connections, and simply thinking like a healthcare executive. It also served as a great discussion topic during post-graduate job interviews.

I found the case competition to be one of the most valuable experiences of my career, for both personal and professional reasons. To this day, I still draw on the skills I developed while competing to address challenges and opportunities I see every day at my organization. I refined my ability to work effectively under pressure, think creatively and strategically in a group setting, and work collaboratively to develop a feasible, yet compelling, case to solve a unique problem. I still maintain many of the connections I made by participating in the event and I believe those individuals will continue to influence me and shape my growth as I go forward. I also developed a very strong bond with my two teammates. I count them among my closest friends and we still connect often despite living in different parts of the country. I won’t lie and say the competition is easy, but I can definitely say I’m a better professional for having gone through the experience.
