The Steinbrenner HOSA club is for students who
plan on being future health professionals, particularly
interested in the health science and sports medicine
field. Since it is a co-curricular club, they use their
knowledge and skills to compete in various health-care
related conferences.
“The nice thing about HOSA being a co-curricular
club is that everything that we learn in our class allows
the students to take those skills and transfer them into
our HOSA competition, so it gives them an oppourtunity
to compete using various skills relating to the
healthcare field,” said HOSA sponsor Jasmin Wantuch.
This year, after having placed in the top five in the
state leadership conference, the medical innovation
team and the PSA team will be advancing to the international
conference in June.
“Our competition required us to innovate our own
medical innovation and create a presenation based off
of it depicting financial effects, staff impact, and the
entire medical process,” said Senior Priya Kadia, a
member of the medical innovation team, who placed
third in the state this year.
It was a sweet win for Kadia and Senior Leila Reihani,
who placed fifth in the same competition last year.
