Public Service Announcement allows members to use technology to produce a video public service announcement informing the community about a significant health issue. This competitive event consists of one round, and each team consists of 2-6 people. All teams will show their PSA to a panel of judges and give a presentation about their creative process. This event aims to inspire members to be proactive future health professionals by producing a PSA to promote a health service organization, bring awareness to a health situation, or educate the public at large regarding health and well-being

Required for PSA event 2025 – 2026:
All members of the PSA team must complete the HFCUniverse Brain Health 101 and Brain Health 201 courses.
