Yes! Dobie HOSA is open to all students interested in health care. While you're not required to be enrolled in a Health Science course, taking one can provide a stronger foundation, especially since many competitive events involve foundational knowledge in healthcare, such as medical terminology or basic health science concepts (if not more).
