What is the primary focus of the HOSA goals?

The primary focus of the HOSA goals is to develop leadership and technical skills in health care. This goal underscores HOSA’s commitment to preparing students for future careers in the health professions by equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge. HOSA places a significant emphasis on both leadership development and the acquisition of technical competencies, which are essential in the dynamic field of health care. Through various programs, activities, and competitions, students are given opportunities to enhance their abilities, thereby fostering personal growth and professional preparedness.

In addition to this primary focus, elements such as networking and fundraising do play roles in HOSA activities, but they are not the main objectives. Enhancing levels of competition is also important for skill assessment and communal growth; however, it is ultimately secondary to the core aim of skill and leadership development. Thus, the emphasis remains on building a strong foundation of skills that are crucial for success in health care professions.
