Resources for Advisors

While HOSA-Future Health Professionals is a member-led organization, the role of the Chapter Advisor is invaluable. The chapter advisor helps guide the students as they make decisions for the chapter's operations, and they help students prepare for competitive events. Most importantly, chapter advisors support the students as they work to achieve their goals.
