The VHA Shark Tank Competition shines a spotlight on employees passionate about solving some of the toughest challenges across VHA. It provides them with a platform to bring exposure from all levels of leadership to their practices that are elevating the standard of care for Veterans. All employees are encouraged to submit their successfully implemented promising practices and compete for the opportunity to pitch their practices to Medical Center and VISN Director Sharks. Watch the 2023 promising practices pitch their innovative ideas during the Shark Tank Competition which took place at the 2023 VHA Innovation Experience (iEX).
