HOTT (Health Opportunities for Today and Tomorrow) is a health career exploration website specifically designed for middle through high school age students. Students have the opportunity to complete an assessment that outlines which health careers may be of greatest interest, explore over 80 different health careers – roles/responsibilities, salary, trends, education length, etc.. - and connect directly with colleges/universities throughout the state of Michigan. Fun activities on the site include the super cool quiz, fun health facts and crossword/word search puzzles. Students can also read HOTT’s career spotlight and view video clips of health careers.

Michigan Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA)
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.
