NYS HOSA Board of Trustees, Who We Are

HOSA is a national student organization endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education and the Health Science Technology Education Division of ACTE. HOSA's two-fold mission is to promote career opportunities in the health care industry and to enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people. 
NYS BOT promotes student lead activities designed to develop future leaders for the health care system. HOSA participation provides opportunities for students to:
  • develop effective leadership qualities and skills;
  • enhance communication skills;
  • develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills;
  • build self-esteem through individual and group achievement;
  • participate in community service activities;
  • develop character and responsible citizenship traits;
  • set goals for life long learning and make realistic career choices;
  • network with health care professionals and peers who have similar goals;
  • and access student scholarship opportunities.
