| What is HOSA? | |
|
HOSA
is a national student organization endorsed by the U.S. Department of
Education and the Health Science Technology Education Division of ACTE.
HOSA's
two-fold mission is to promote career opportunities in the health care
industry and to enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people.
HOSA's
goal is to encourage all health occupations instructors and students to
join and be actively involved in the HST-HOSA
Partnership.
HOSA provides a unique program of leadership development, motivation, and recognition exclusively for secondary, postsecondary, adult, and collegiate students enrolled in HST (Health Science Technology) programs. Since its inception in 1976, HOSA has grown steadily reaching 80,622 students through forty (42) affiliated state associations with involvement in two (2) unaffiliated states and 2,489 chapters in the 2005-06 membership year. HOSA is not a club to which a few students in school join. Rather, HOSA is a powerful instructional tool that works best when it is integrated into the HST curriculum and classroom. HST instructors are committed to the development of the total person. Those who join the HST-HOSA Partnership recognize the importance of providing students with training far beyond the basic technical skills needed for entry into the health care field. The rapidly changing health care system needs dedicated workers who, in addition to their technical skills, are people-oriented and capable of playing a leadership or followership role as a member of a health care team. |
