What does HOSA encourage regarding health education in schools?

HOSA encourages the integration of health science curriculum and the promotion of health literacy among students because it recognizes the importance of equipping future healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of health topics. This integration not only enhances students' knowledge but also prepares them to make informed decisions about their own health and the health of others. By fostering health literacy, HOSA helps to instill essential skills in students that are relevant and applicable in real-world healthcare scenarios. This approach promotes a well-rounded education that goes beyond competition or specific academic evaluations, emphasizing the importance of understanding health in a broader context.
