"Competing in the Healthcare Innovation Challenge was the perfect activity to break the rhythm of grad school. I got the chance to make new friends, come up with a creative idea, and win some cash in the process.

I would definitely recommend this competition for those interested in strengthening their academic portfolio for professional school."

- Adriano Nella, Finalist
