Insurance basics, premiums, deductibles, and employer vs. government coverage.

Rural care deserts, uninsured populations, and global health gaps.
Hands-on lab: Build a basic insurance-comparison worksheet for a hypothetical family.
Electronic health records, telehealth, and patient portals.
Diagnostics, imaging, and predictive tools — explained conceptually. No coding background required.
How monitoring technology is changing care delivery.
Hands-on lab: Wireframe one feature of a telehealth app.

Why return on investment is measured differently in health than in typical business.

A synthesis lesson running one case through all three lenses at once. Case materials use the internal name Care, Cost, Code.
Guided practice on past-style cases.
Pitch prep (Innovation Challenge), brief-writing (Policy Cup), poster prep (Research Symposium), and case-team prep (Nationals).
Hands-on lab: A full mock case run-through, in teams. Each year’s Track 4 capstone becomes the basis for that year’s MediLink Nationals case.
The public syllabus is meant to look substantial to a recruit. Full slide decks, worksheets, and competition packets unlock after your chapter officers approve your roster and you receive a MediLink login.
