CLARION 2025

We are excited to share that CLARION will host the competition in-person again this year, on the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus! We are thrilled to connect 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. 

• 1st place (shared award): $7,500
• 2nd place (shared award): $5,000
• 3rd place  (shared award): $2,500

Four students per team - no more than two students from the same profession.

Each institution participating is only allowed to send one team.

Must represent at least two different health professions (see examples below) and no more than 2 of the same professions on each team:

• Healthcare Administration
• Medicine
• Nursing
• Pharmacy
• Dentistry
• Public Health
• Physical Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Social Work

*If you have a prior health professional degree, you are able to participate. However, you are only representing the current program you are enrolled in (e.g., A nurse completing a Master of Public Health would represent Public Health, not nursing) 

Participants can be full-time or part-time students at the institution they represent. Please note: Full-time students who are also employed in professional leadership positions are not eligible to compete. Exceptions will be reviewed by the CLARION Executive Board on an individual basis.

Team members will share the entire prize as listed.

We have welcomed teams from across the country to the National Case Competition! For a sample of past presentations, please see the YouTube links below:
