Utah HOSA State

Leadership Conference

March 17-18, 2016

Hello HOSA Advisors, We hope that all is well and you have been able to get the school year off to a great start! We wanted to give you information about our State Leadership Conference this coming March on March 17-18, 2016. You may find all of the registration materials online at the Utah HOSA Website https://uthosa.wordpress.com. This packet contains step by step instructions for what you need to do to make sure your chapter is properly registered for competition. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions. We would like to remind you to PLEASE check and adhere to deadlines for competitions. If you fail to follow the deadlines, your students could be in jeopardy of not being able to compete. Students MUST be registered as HOSA member in order to register them for competition. Don’t forget that you as an advisor MUST be registered for the competition as well as registered as a HOSA professional member. Please note the change in registration cost as of November 2013. The cost is now $35 per participant due to economic changes. Students may compete in any competitions they would like that do not conflict. No competitions will be held for students competing in other events during the current competition. Students MUST attend the orientations that are related to their competitions. Please make sure you do not register students for competitions that are running at the same time. There are absolutely NO REFUNDS. There are several events that have 2 rounds to competition. The test score from Round 1 will be used to qualify the competitor for the Round 2 skill procedures. If there are more than 10 competitors in Medical Spelling, Creative Problem Solving, and Parliamentary Procedure there will be a test to qualify the competitors to move on to the next round of competition. Please be sure your students have all the rules. If rules are not followed, disqualification from the competition may result. To continue to celebrate our FRESH HOSA year, we will be having our Utah HOSA 7th 5k fun run on the morning of Friday, March 18th. Please make sure that you register your students that will be participating. There is a $10 fee for each participant which will include a t-shirt. All proceeds for the fun run will go to the Utah HOSA Scholarship Fund. Thank you for all of the work that you do for Utah HOSA and for your students. Your work does not go unnoticed. If any of you would like to learn more about the competitive events, we always need help running and judging the competitions. Thank You!

Health Career Display Website links have been added to help competitors determine what is considered a health career. Competitors must explain how they career they selected fits into the larger healthcare system.

Parliamentary Procedure The process for NAP membership will be changing Fall of 2015, which may affect the test plan and resources used for NLC 2016. As soon as we have an update, we will post revised guidelines on the HOSA website.

GENERAL CE UPDATES

Scoring All team test scores will now be averaged. - All test scores will now carry forward to be included in the final score. This only changes Biomedical Debate, Creative Problem Solving, Forensic Medicine, and Parliamentary Procedure, which were previously not carried forward. The exception is HOSA Bowl and Medical Spelling as those test scores are used for seeding.

Skill Events Rating sheets have been updated for the events with skills to reflect changes in point values for certain items. Zero option has been added. Mastery scores have been included in skill event guidelines.
