About the 2025 Competition<\/h3>\n

In keeping with Roy Snell\u2019s keen interest in practical, realistic, and user-centered communication, as well as a commitment to efficiency and clarity in writing, this demanding competition requires students to analyze a hypothetical fact pattern (the Competition Problem) involving an organization facing multifaceted health care regulatory\/compliance matters. Students must analyze the facts presented, identify any and all regulatory\/compliance concerns and advise the recipients in two written work products. While these two written work products address the same hypothetical situation and subject matter, they are to be drafted with a specific audience\/reader in mind. Content must be customized to a particular audience\/reader to optimize understanding, engagement, and responsiveness. This year\u2019s competition challenged students to draft a detailed internal legal memorandum and create a PowerPoint presentation.<\/p>\n

The competition honors Roy Snell, the distinguished and highly regarded former CEO of the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA) and the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE),\u00a0for his visionary leadership and extraordinary contributions to the field of Health Care Compliance. Roy Snell lends his name to the competition to support new and emerging leaders in health care compliance. For more information on Mr. Snell\u2019s extraordinary legacy click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All submissions were judged by a panel of independent legal and compliance experts. Neither the entrant\u2019s identity nor academic institution were known to the judges. Top honors were awarded to the following students:<\/p>\n
