In an engaging educational session focused on connecting Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways for health science technology to the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), participants explored the vital role of hands-on experiences and leadership development in shaping future healthcare professionals. The session highlighted how CTE programs can provide students with practical skills and knowledge, while HOSA offers opportunities for competition, collaboration, and networking. By integrating these pathways, students are better prepared for careers in health science, equipped with both technical expertise and essential soft skills. Attendees left inspired to enhance their programs and foster connections that empower the next generation of healthcare leaders.
