The Washington Leadership Academy is a leadership development conference, allowing the opportunity for students to strengthen leadership skills, advocacy abilities, and understanding of healthcare issues.  WLA is open to current RI HOSA state officers and local chapter officers.

The Fall Leadership Conference is designed to inspire and prepare RI HOSA members for a successful year in HOSA.  Workshops, networking and career-focused sessions allow students to develop skills needed for a career in healthcare.  The  conference helps members build connections across the state and motivates for them to become active members of the organization.

The International Leadership Conference is the largest annual gathering of HOSA members.  The conference provides members with opportunities to network with peers, develop leadership skills, and showcase knowledge on the international stage.  ILC is open to RI HOSA members who medal at the State Conference, earn recognition or are members of the outgoing RI Executive Council.
