What:

The CLARION case competition is an annual competition in which students from different disciplines work as four-person teams to research, analyze, conduct a root cause analysis, and form recommendations related to an extensive real-world healthcare case. This team attends the national CLARION competition in Minneapolis, Minnesota April 11-12, 2025.

Why:

The CLARION competition provides students opportunity to gain a 360-degree perspective on patient safety in today’s health care system and how it might be improved. Students investigate real solutions to real health care problems.

How:

Complete the MUSC Clarion Competition Team survey by Friday, November 15, 2024. Students will interview with Interprofessional Initiative faculty. The final team members will be selected based upon team composition (to ensure a diverse IP representation), interview results, and program approval. If there is compelling student interest, there is the potential to have a local MUSC competition between different interprofessional student teams. The winner of the local MUSC competition would be sent to the national Clarion competition.
