HOSA is a student-lead organization that focuses on preparing the healthcare professionals of the future. HOSA is a magnificent gateway for many careers in healthcare. The students have the opportunity to compete and engage with other students across the state and country. HOSA students can attend several conferences in the fall and the large Student Leadership Conference (SLC) in the spring. I encourage all healthcare students to join HOSA and attend and excel at every opportunity HOSA can present.
