What type of skills does HOSA help to develop through its competitive events?

HOSA focuses on developing technical skills that are directly related to various health care professions. These skills are essential for students pursuing careers in health care as they encompass both the practical and theoretical knowledge necessary to perform effectively in a clinical or health care setting. Through competitive events, HOSA provides students with opportunities to engage in real-world scenarios that require critical thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on practice. This not only enhances their understanding of health care processes but also prepares them for future employment in the health care industry, where specific technical skills are vital for delivering quality patient care.

In contrast, while artistic and creative skills, marketing and sales skills, and management skills are valuable in their respective fields, they do not directly align with the primary focus of HOSA, which is to prepare students for a range of careers in health care through the development of relevant technical competencies.
