Case Study

Overview

The Case Study is a practical competition designed to help participants develop their skills in medical reasoning, biological data analysis, and evidence-based problem solving. Participants analyze a patient scenario inspired by real cases and record their findings on the provided question form. The competition is held in two sessions. The same case is used in both sessions; however, in the second session, additional data are provided so that participants can refine their diagnoses and strengthen their reasoning.

Competition Format

• Participants: Teams of 3–4 high school students.

• Data Types: Clinical measurements such as ECG and MRI, biochemical test results, genetic profile information, patient history, etc.

• Objective: To determine the most likely diagnosis based on the provided data, explain cause–effect relationships, and make scientific inferences.

• Evaluation: Scientific accuracy and consistency of data analysis.

Competition Rules

1. All analyses must be conducted by the team members themselves.

2. Internet access is allowed and may be used for research purposes.

3. The use of AI-based tools is strictly prohibited.

4. All data provided to participants are anonymous and intended solely for educational use.

5. Each team may submit only one case solution.

6. Teams will be ranked according to their total score. In the event of a tie, the depth of data analysis will be used as the tiebreaker.

7. Failure to comply with time limits or originality rules will result in disqualification.
