If you can spare a day, Penn HOSA is seeking clinical and non-clinical volunteers to judge student competitions at its Annual Leadership Conference, March 30 – April 1 at the Valley Forge Casino in King of Prussia, PA.
Penn HOSA is the state affiliate of the national HOSA-Future Health Professionals career and technical student organization endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education. It supports more than 3,700 Pennsylvania middle school, secondary, postsecondary, adult, and collegiate students enrolled in health science education programs in 110 local chartered chapters.
Competitive events include dental, medical, and nursing assisting, emergency preparedness, persuasive writing and speaking, job seeking and interview skills, and team-based debate, quiz bowl, and health career displays. State event winners compete at the International HOSA Leadership Conference in June.
If you are able to volunteer as a judge, please send your name, email address, and a brief description of your professional background to Penn HOSA Executive Director/State Advisor Walt Slauch at wslauchhosa@gmail.com to facilitate your placement in the appropriate event.
Supporting future healthcare professionals through HOSA student competitions is such a rewarding way to pay it forward! Mentoring and judging young talent helps build a stronger health workforce. I also wanted to compliment your website’s design—it’s super clean, professional, and pages load remarkably fast on mobile. I actually stumbled across this post while searching for adopt me pet for sale in another browser tab during a quick break, and I’m really glad I stopped to read about this volunteering opportunity. Great job!
