2022 LINC Interprofessional Case Competition

The LINC Interprofessional Case Competition was designed to provide professional and graduate students, an opportunity to work in interprofessional teams to address a problem within healthcare.

This year, the teams focused on health inequities and/or disparities within a single zip code in Bexar County. Teams were tasked to develop a written proposal that summarizes their research and describe a creative, impactful, and interprofessional intervention in a population of choice.

Proposals were scored by a panel of IPE judges who are members of the Co-Curricular IPE Initiative. Teams that received the highest scores on their written proposals earned competition finalist status.
