What should HOSA members do to stay competitive in their events?

Staying competitive in HOSA events requires members to be well-informed about the latest developments in the healthcare field. Learning about current trends and best practices enables members to gain relevant knowledge and skills that are applicable to their events. This understanding ensures that participants are adapted to the evolving landscape of healthcare, which often influences competition topics, techniques, and expectations.

Knowledge of current trends helps members not only in their competitions but also prepares them for future careers by keeping them aligned with industry standards and expectations. This proactive approach is more beneficial compared to focusing on historical data, which may not reflect the present standards, engaging in gossip that lacks credible insights, or concentrating solely on academic performance, which does not encompass the practical skills and knowledge necessary for success in a competitive environment.
