Think Bigger. Make Your Case.
ACCESS is ReseNeX's national, fully virtual case competition bringing undergraduate students together to investigate real healthcare challenges and create bold, evidence-informed solutions.
Built for Big Ideas.
ACCESS challenges undergraduate students from different programs, universities, and backgrounds to work together, investigate a complex healthcare problem, and propose an innovative evidence-informed response.
Investigate.
Understand the healthcare challenge, examine the evidence, and identify where current systems fall short.
Innovate.
Design a solution using science, technology, prevention, policy, or systems thinking.
Make Your Case.
Translate your thinking into a clear proposal and demonstrate why your solution could create meaningful change.
National. Accessible. Virtual.
ACCESS was designed so geography does not determine who gets to participate in a national academic experience. Teams can collaborate from anywhere while tackling a shared case and bringing different perspectives to the table.
Breaking Barriers to Healthcare.
Participants were challenged to propose new or improved prevention strategies addressing barriers to healthcare using science, technology, or systems thinking.
