The 2022 competition 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.\u200b<\/p>\n

This year, the case competition took on a new look. For the 2023 Interprofessional FLASH! Case Competition teams of 3-4 students representing two or more educational programs from two or more schools at UT Health San Antonio identified a vexing local healthcare problem of their choosing, solved it interprofessionally and recorded and submitted a 5-minute presentation scored by an interprofessional faculty & staff panel of judges.<\/p>\n
