What is the purpose of HOSA's competitive events?

The purpose of HOSA's competitive events is primarily to enhance skills and knowledge in health care fields. These events offer students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in their health science courses in a practical and competitive environment. Participants engage in various scenarios and problems that challenge their understanding and abilities in health care, fostering critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills. By competing, students can also demonstrate their proficiency in specific health-related topics and practices, making them better prepared for careers in health professions. This not only boosts their confidence but also provides valuable experiences that can benefit their future educational and career pursuits in the health sector.
