Since 2015, Turner Fenton HOSA has been one of the largest extracurricular activities offered at Turner Fenton S.S., providing opportunities for motivated students to develop their scientific knowledge and their leadership abilities in a fun and engaging manner.
WHAT IS HOSA?
WHAT IS HOSA?
HOSA-Future Health Professionals is an international career and technical student organization endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education and the Health Science Education (HSE) Division of the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE). HOSA's two-fold mission is to promote career opportunities in the health industry and to enhance the delivery of quality health to all people. HOSA's goal is to encourage all health science instructors and students to join and be actively involved in the HSE-HOSA Partnership.
HOSA members are proud to belong to one of the ten (10) career and technical student organizations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the only career and technical student organization endorsed by the Health Science Education Division of the Association for Career and Technical Education.
Just as laboratories in science classes allow students to put theory into practice, the HOSA lab lets members test their personal and leadership skills in real life. HOSA members have the opportunity to participate and/or compete in area, state and international leadership conferences. Motivated students polish their skills and receive a sense of self accomplishment as well as recognition.
Through those leadership experiences, HOSA provides students with opportunities to become the best they can be as they pursue rewarding and challenging careers in the vital health professions. HOSA provides opportunities for the student to make a well-informed career choice among the many health occupations, which in turn aides the students in making a more realistic career goal.
