HOSA provides a unique program of leadership development, motivation, and recognition exclusively for secondary, postsecondary, adult, and collegiate students enrolled in HSE programs.

An acknowledged leader in preparing students to succeed in allied health, many HOSA members become certified as CNAs, LPNs, EMTs and many more. Its growing alumni base of 2.5 million members reflects HOSA's impact and influence on the career life cycles of its constituents.
