Call for Entrants, Mentors for 2017 UAHS CLARION Interprofessional Case Competition

Calling Student Competitors and Faculty Mentors, Deadline: Jan. 18, 2017
 

The University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) will host its second annual Local CLARION Interprofessional Case Competition on Feb. 28, 2017. The competition will include interprofessional teams of up to four students, with at least two different disciplines represented.

Student teams are given a fictitious, yet very realistic, complicated case and charged with creating a root cause analysis. Student teams will have several weeks to prepare their analysis. Teams will be randomly assigned. At the UAHS Local CLARION Interprofessional Case Competition, each team will present their analysis to a panel of interprofessional judges who will evaluate each team's presentation, analysis, and recommendations in the context of real-world standards of practice.

The deadline for signing up as a student competitor or faculty mentor is: Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017.

UA health professions students as well as law students are invited to apply for the competition.
