In December and January we took our regional and state online qualification tests. Some members took two tests while most members only took one. The tests that were picked by our HOSA members for Regionals were Behavioral Health, Biomedical Debate, CPR/First Aid, Dental Science, Dental Terminology, Forensic Medicine, Health Care Issues Exam, Medical Law and Ethics, Human Growth and Development, and Transcultural Health Care Knowledge tests as well as Medical Assisting, Medical Math, Medical Spelling, Medical Terminology, Nursing Assisting, Sports Medicine, and Veterinary Science. Each test was pretty lengthy with 40 questions or more. These were sort of like pretests because we didn’t know which events we wanted to compete in at State yet, but over all they went well for everyone. I heard the Medical Math was the most difficult because the testers weren’t allowed to use calculators. Other than that most of the tests were easy to accomplish. Our advisor used that information to help us decide which events would be best for us to continue studying and practicing our skills for to compete in at SLC. In January we had people take the Health Sciences category qualifying tests and had four people qualify in the top to attend SLC. The tests they qualified for were Human Growth and Development, Dental Terminology, and two of our members qualified for Medical Spelling. We will be attending SLC in March to put what we are studying and practicing skills for the competition.
