Event Updates:

JANUARY EVENT UPDATE

All of the event guidelines have been updated to add the header "Event Guidelines". This is done in an attempt to assure that HOSA members understand the rules of each event. At NLC 2010, competitors are required to bring their copy of the event guidelines to their specific event orienation. You do NOT need to print out the updated guidelines if you are already using the July 2009 version, UNLESS you are in an event with specific guideline changes as noted below.

2/6/2010 - VA, DA and BT - At the state and national levels, there will be an OPTION to administer a written skill (ID instruments, breed ID, ID parasites) immediately following the event orientation and written test.

2/6/2010 - BD - Teams will be allowed the OPTION of bringing their prepared materials on a laptop, running on battery power, for use during the preliminary round and debate. Electricity will NOT be provided.

2/6/2010 - BT - Procedure II: Editorial improvements, including the addition of a step, "Untied ties at neck and waist."

8/28/2009 - Medical Photography clarification - Print photos will be used by the judges.  IN ADDITION, a CD with the photos in .jpeg format MUST be turned in at the event for state AND national competition.  The photos submitted on the CD-ROM may be used in state and national HOSA publications.  BE SURE you bring your three photographs in PRINT AND ELECTRONIC (CD) format to state-level competitive events.  If you qualify for national competition, you will need to reprint your photos and make another CD with your photos for National HOSA Competitive Events.
