What is the role of a HOSA advisor?

The role of a HOSA advisor primarily involves guiding and supporting HOSA members and their activities. Advisors serve as mentors and resources, helping students navigate their projects, participate in competitions, and develop leadership skills. By fostering a supportive environment, advisors empower students to explore healthcare careers, build confidence, and enhance their experiences in HOSA.

Attributes of an effective advisor include not only providing guidance on organizational and operational aspects but also inspiring students to pursue their interests within the healthcare field, creating a culture of teamwork, and assisting with the overall mission of HOSA to develop future healthcare professionals. The advisor's role is crucial in ensuring that members are engaged, informed, and provided with the necessary resources to succeed in both their personal and professional development through HOSA activities.
