This weekend, students from four countries and more than 20 universities are in Atlanta for the Emory Global Health Case Competition.
They’re developing solutions to a hypothetical global health policy issue. The best team leaves with a cash prize.
And while the money is nice, students say it’s secondary to developing real-world skills.
The number of students enrolled in global health programs in the US and Canada has more than doubled in the past several years.
Emory Global Health Institute Director Jeffrey Koplan says that’s because students see themselves in a global context.
