Mid-Winter Academies
Mid-Winter Academies are regional training events designed to help HOSA members prepare for the State Leadership Conference. Rather than competing, members spend the day learning what to expect at SLC, reviewing event guidelines and rubrics, practicing hands-on skills, completing shortened practice tests, and receiving feedback from healthcare professionals, educators, judges, and experienced HOSA members.
Members participating in presentation events may also bring prepared materials and practice their presentations while receiving feedback before SLC.
Members may choose the academy location that works best for them. Each Mid-Winter Academy runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
