HOSA recognizes the importance pf providing students with training beyond health specific technical skills required for entry into health care, and plays a unique role in preparing students for higher education and entry level certification (EMT, pharmacy tech, CNA, etc). The rapidly changing health care system needs dedicated workers who are people-orientated and capable of playing a leader or follower role as a member of a health care team. HOSA, a student-led organization of future health professionals, provides opportunities for students to develop, practice, and refine their technical, leadership, and teamwork skills to achieve a seamless transition from education to a career.
