Pioneer High School students smile for a photo as they attend the HOSA 2018 State Leadership Conference in Reno last month.
On March 19-21, the Pioneer High School chapter participated in the HOSA 2018 State Leadership Conference in Reno. HOSA is an international student organization for future health professionals.
Students participated in a three-day conference that included competitions, symposiums, courtesy corps, and other leadership events.
The medical assisting event included a written exam and random testing on skill sets expected of the modern medical assistant. The health education event challenged students to create and compose a lesson plan, a 32-page document, and perform a six-minute presentation as a team.
The Pioneer chapter exhibited excellence as a team in its preparation for this event, it seized the opportunity to excel, and it was rewarded for its outstanding efforts.
Several PHS students participated in the event, and a number of medals were awarded.
