CLARION is a CHIP student organization, focused on the professional development of health professional students and includes lessons in leadership, teamwork, communication, analytical reasoning, conflict-resolution, and business practices. Participation in CLARION leads students to a more sophisticated understanding of the healthcare system they will practice in. The CLARION Student Board not only coordinates the local and national case competition, they also coordinate many interprofessional events for University of Minnesota health professional students. Learn more about CLARION's events and student board below!
Events
Local and national students form interprofessional teams to enhance their problem analysis and presentation skills. Each team is charged with applying their creativity, knowledge, and experience to analyze the diverse issues facing a healthcare organization. Presentations are made to a panel of judges representing leaders in the healthcare field and scholarships are presented to each member of the winning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Local & National teams.

The Interprofessional Dinner is an annual event hosted by CLARION open to all health professional students. It is a great opportunity to meet students from other programs and learn about the importance of interprofessionalism in healthcare from our guest speakers while enjoying a meal. This is also a chance to learn more about the CLARION Case Competition from board members and past participants.
