Why is HOSA Important?

• HOSA is important because the rapidly changing health care system needs dedicated workers who are people-oriented and capable of playing a leader or follower role as a member of a health care team.

• HOSA recognizes the importance of providing students with training beyond health specific technical skills required for entry into health care, and plays a unique roll in preparing students for higher education and entry level certification.

• HOSA, a student lead organization of future health professionals, provides opportunities for students to not only develop, but refine their technical, leadership, and teamwork skills to achieve a seamless transition from education to career.
