AMA HOSA 2024-2025: Powered By The People

The Cal-HOSA Fall Leadership Conferences (FLC’s) are an opportunity for students to learn about health care careers, leadership and all things HOSA! The FLC’s include information about state officer elections held at the State Leadership Conference (SLC), Competitive Events (CE), the National Service Project, as well as a variety of pertinent workshops. Chapters who attend an FLC will bring home excited students and advisors who are motivated to develop their chapter’s Plan of Work (POW) for the upcoming Cal-HOSA year. California HOSA encourages involvement of those members enrolled in a Health Science and Medical Technology pathway, academy or program across the state, and the perfect way to start is by attending a Cal-HOSA Fall Leadership Conference (FLC) in one of the five California regions. Through this conference, members have an opportunity to gain skills in leadership through keynote speakers, workshops, and information regarding competitive events offered. The momentum is sparked at FLC as members, advisors, and industry partners come together to celebrate the possibilities and develop their leader within!
