What is required for a HOSA member to compete in events?

To compete in HOSA events, a member must meet the eligibility criteria as defined in the competitive events guide. This requirement ensures that all participants are on the same level and have the necessary qualifications, background knowledge, and skills pertinent to the event they are entering. The eligibility criteria may include factors such as being a current member of HOSA, having completed specific courses related to healthcare, or being in a certain grade level.

Focusing on eligibility allows HOSA to maintain a high standard of competition, ensuring that all participants are adequately prepared and can contribute effectively to the event. This structured approach helps promote fairness and integrity within the competitions, making sure that each member who competes is capable of performing at their best.
