on-demand learning opportunities
Updated May, 2024
HOSA–Future Health Professionals is pleased to provide “on-demand” lessons for HOSA Advisors with a desire to connect HOSA competitive events, career opportunities, and HOSA activities with classroom curriculum. The On-Demand Opportunities began as a response to the change in the classroom setting encountered during the COVID-19 Pandemic but continues to be an excellent tool for health and biomedical science instructors / HOSA Advisors to use in their classroom. From classroom activities, website links, alumni career spotlights, lesson plans, video lessons, what HOSA competitive event is right for the HOSA member, and engagement strategies, the “on-demand” page supports both HOSA Advisors and members.
A video summary about the on-demand lessons can be viewed HERE.
All on-demand resources are free to HOSA members, and HOSA is always interested in feedback to ensure we are meeting your needs. Contact Jan Mould with any questions or comments at jan.mould@hosa.org.
