HOSA Club (Health occupations students of america)

Advisor: Mrs. Linsey 

Description: 

Are you interested in medicine? HOSA is a competitive medical team, where students get to compete in medical events locally and nationally. No previous knowledge is needed to participate, however, those that are interested in joining should be prepared to donate their time throughout the school year! Along with competitions, we have team events where we not only help the community, but also get to work with people in the field. We meet every other Friday at 2:25pm in room A313. Contact Aanya Gupta (agupt24) if you have any questions!

Mission statement: HOSA is meant to give students that are interested in the medical field an opportunity to delve into what their future could look like, provide them a series of competitions that will excel their skills/ knowledge, and allow them to meet others that share the same interests.
