What kind of events does HOSA NOT include in its competitive events structure?

HOSA primarily focuses on events that promote healthcare skills, teamwork, leadership, and professionalism. While leadership events, team events, and public speaking events are integral components within HOSA’s competitive events structure, solo performance events are not a typical category featured in HOSA competitions. The nature of HOSA emphasizes collaboration and the ability to work effectively in a healthcare environment, which is often assessed through group participation and interactions rather than individual performances.

Leadership events encourage participants to demonstrate their skills in guiding and influencing others, while team events require collaboration and problem-solving as a unit. Public speaking events allow participants to communicate healthcare topics effectively but still within a context of interaction with an audience or judges. Solo performance events, however, do not align with HOSA's focus on team dynamics and collaborative healthcare practice, making them an exception in the competitive structure.
