Mid-Winter Academies
Mid-Winter Academies are regional training events designed to help HOSA members prepare for the State Leadership Conference. Instead of 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. Presentation competitors can also bring prepared materials and practice their presentations for feedback.
Members choose the academy location that works best for them. Each academy runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
