CLARION 2023 - In-Person!

We are excited to share that CLARION will host the competition in-person this year, on the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus! We are thrilled to reconnect with teams face-to-face. This competition will be similar to years past, with an enhanced experience as we incorporate engaging activities with our state-of-the-art Health Sciences Education Center (HSEC), collaborating with campus partners such as MSimulation and the Health Sciences Libraries. CLARION is thrilled this year to be partnering with the Community-University Health Care Center (CUHCC) to develop this year's case. CUHCC is a Federally Qualified Healthcare Center whose mission is Transforming Care and Education to Advance Health Equity.

Teams may begin registering for in-person competition on Tuesday, November 1st at 8:00am CDT.
