What is the purpose of HOSA’s competitive events?

The purpose of HOSA’s competitive events is to recognize student achievements in health science and leadership skills. These events are designed to showcase the knowledge and competencies that students have developed through their education and training in health science fields. By competing, students not only demonstrate their mastery of specific content areas and technical skills related to healthcare, but they also enhance their leadership abilities and teamwork experience.

Participation in these competitive events allows students to gain practical experience that complements their academic learning while also building confidence in their abilities. Furthermore, the recognition afforded to participants emphasizes the importance of excellence and encourages a culture of achievement within the health sciences community. This recognition plays a vital role in promoting student engagement and motivation, aligning closely with HOSA's mission to support the development of future healthcare professionals.
