HOSA

http://www.hosa.org/node/11

Glenview Park is proud to introduce the newly established HOSA which will start up on October 12, 2016. HOSA’s mission is to promote career opportunities in the healthcare industry while also providing students with a unique opportunity for leadership and development. Think of it as the medical equivalent of DECA. Students will meet every Wednesday, October through February to prepare for the provincial competition which will take place in early March at the University of Toronto. Here, students will spend two days competing while also having the opportunity to attend workshops, tour the campus and meet like-minded individuals. The conferences may also allow for participants to meet professionals in the medical career they may someday wish to pursue. Placing in the top three in your category will allow you to move on to internationals which will be held late June in Anaheim, California. The cost for participating in HOSA competitions is an initial registration fee of $35 and $60 for provincials. These costs will allow you to participate and give you access to the HOSA database to aid in your studies, but will not cover the cost of the overnight hotel stay, which will be determined at a later day. In efforts to minimize cost for participants, HOSA will hold a series of fundraisers prior to the competition date throughout the year. If you have any further questions feel free to check out the HOSA Ontario website or our own Glenview HOSA website at http://hopea0164.wixsite.com/gpsshosa2016. We hope to see you at our first meeting on Wednesday October 12, 2016 in room D219!
