2026 USC Global Health Case Competition

The annual USC Global Health Case Competition brings together teams of students from all disciplines, and from across the university, to tackle a critical global health challenge. This year the competition will take place virtually on March 6, 2026.
Fourteen days after receiving the case, each team of five students must propose an innovative, comprehensive solution to a panel of expert judges from around the world. The top three teams will receive a reward payment and the winning team will be sponsored by IIGH to represent USC at the virtual 2026 Emory Morningside Global Health Case Competition.
