HOSA is a national and state organization for high school students enrolled in health occupation education programs. Members strengthen their leadership and citizenship abilities through interaction with healthcare professionals and other community leaders. HOSA students attend regional, state and national conferences to develop “soft skills” including teamwork, public speaking and creative problem solving. HOSA students develop their citizenship skills through volunteerism in community enrichment programs. Over 3,000 Michigan students participate in HOSA each year.
