Second-year Master of Health Administration students Gil Durand, Jasmine Reid and Eric Sette won first place of 43 teams at the National Association of Health Services Executives (NAHSE) Everett V. Fox Student Case Competition.
The annual NAHSE Student Case Competition charges student teams with applying their creativity, knowledge and experience to analyze a unique case study and present their findings before expert judges, which include leaders in health care, business and academia.
NAHSE is a nonprofit association of Black health care executives founded in 1968 for the purpose of promoting the advancement and development of Black and other minority health care leaders, and elevating the quality of health care services rendered to minority and underserved communities.
“We are so thankful for this opportunity to represent the MHA program and The Ohio State University. Special thanks to our advisor, Julie Robbins, and the other MHA program faculty, staff and students who provided us continued feedback and support along the way," wrote Durand, Reid and Sette in a collective statement. "Through these past three weeks of the case competition, we have been able to hone our critical thinking and presentation skills and apply classroom learning to real-world health care cases. We highly recommend this competition to future students as a valuable opportunity to network with faculty and students from other programs.”
