Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me choose between medical math and behavioral health for my first year competing in HOSA. I already know a good amount of medical math and I also know a good amount about psychology, so I'm really tied here. Which one would be more competitive? I want to at least go to states. I'm also open to other options for competition too! thank you :)))
Hey! I’m planning to join HOSA next year and I need help! It’s going to be my first year and I want to place or going to SLC at least. I want to major in neuroscience, what event should I do? I think the two related events would be. Behavioral health and pathophys. If any of yall are in those events, tell me about your experience!
has anyone ever heard of a case where they do exceptions for late submissions?
I applied to be a state officer and got an interview. Does anyone have any tips to prepare/ what I should focus on?

hi it would be my 2nd time going 🫰🏽 i js want more friends so lmkkkk guysss
Hey everyone! Me and my team recently made it to HOSA ILC. Basically, we have to travel, and the flight and hotel combined is around 750$. But what wasn't told to us, was that we have 2 teachers coming as well. And now, we have to pay for our own tickets as well as covering theirs. So that adds around 200$ to each of our costs. Also, we have to pay the 160$ fee. My paretns can afford this, but I don't undersand why we are paying for our 2 chaperones. Is this normal among your schools? This means that we are paying over 1000$ just for flights and hotel and enterance. Again, just wondering if this is normal for you all, like are you paying for your chaperones, cause they are essentially getting a free trip. Also, we have like 11 kids, we dont need 2 chaperones.
This is my first time going to the ILC ever and I got the option from my school to buy and take pins. Apparently there is a tradition at the ILC where students trade pins, but I'm not sure how many I need to take to trade.
hey im going to ilc this summer but i'm not going with my school or any kind of group and I was checking any reccomended sites on the ilc website, but its worded like you are required to stay at one of their hotels? so i cant stay js anywhere or with family?
its somewhere in this guide: hosa.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-HOSA-ILC49Guide-CoC-v9-2.pdf
and i cant find the exact website/page where it stated you must stay in approved hotels - does anyone have any info on this or also traveling w/ family?
I js found out i made it to ILC but i don't know anyone going from my school or lit anywhere else . i'm also graduating this year and it's like right when i have my last exam but idc about that. is ILC like doable by urself or am i js gonna be depressed
essentially what the title says - im in what i consider a niche event (no one mentions it here) and as a result theres 0 resources for this event other than ofc the textbooks in the rules and ig im so used to having multiple sources of learning like videos and stuff so i have no idea how to study a textbook.
Anyone have any tips on how to get good at an event with essentially 0 outside resources beyond anything in the rules (2 textbooks) and if i were to create my own notes/flashcards whats the best way of going about that in a philosophy + conditions/symptoms/treatment heavy event?
i’m a stuco and fbla officer and my advisors won’t let me be the treasurer because last year, there were kids w other officer positions and they didn’t run the club well. i won the election and i did well on my interviews but they refuse to give me the position despite me being the only candidate that has business experience. i am interested in healthcare administration and this role will be a way to combine my passion for healthcare and finance. i was also one of the only five people in my chapter to advance to slc yet they are undermining me bc they think that i wont be capable of being a proactive officer. my advisors are not willing to change their minds and i have until sunday to decide. what do i do i am torn
omg if you're like me and you're the only person from ur chapter going can we please make friends and a group chat I'm deadass scared dm meee
