HOSA is very appreciative of Poinciana High School and Valencia Community College for hosting skills event competitors in Nursing Assisting, Dental Assisting, Medical Laboratory Assisting and Physical Therapy.

 

Exhibitors made the most of their final day and continued to meet with HOSA delegates until the HOSA exposition ended at 1 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

Educational Symposiums continued taking place throughout the day with such topics as “The Medicinal Use of Laughter,” “The ABC’s of Being a High School Athletic Training Student Aid” and “Genes in a Bottle.” The Educational Symposiums at this year’s NLC were outstanding and gave HOSA members an opportunity to learn about different areas and aspects of healthcare.

The New Advisor Leadership Academy , with approximately 50 in attendance, took place from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Friday morning. This provides new local advisors with the opportunity to learn more about HOSA and how to create a successful chapter in their school. Congratulations to those advisors and best wishes implementing the newly learned best practices.

The National Recognition Session, which recognizes those chapters and their members who have contributed to HOSA as well as individual chapter accomplishments throughout the past year, began at 7:30 on Friday evening.

 

The first awards were presented to Outstanding HOSA Advisors. Each HOSA advisor is a positive influence for their students and makes a difference in the life of every HOSA member they teach. This is a chance to recognize those individuals for their hard work.
