Online Testing

In December we took our Regional online qualification tests for Health Science and Knowledge testing events.  A few of our members took multiple tests while most members 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, 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 pretty well for everyone. We also took State qualifying tests in January for members who wanted to compete in those events. The results helped us decide which events would be best for us to continue studying and practicing our skills for to compete in at SLC. In the State qualifying tests we had two people qualify in the top to attend SLC, Juan Rodriquez in Transcultural Healthcare and Alise Hulford in Medical Spelling. 66 members also took the Healthcare Issues exam. We will be attending SLC in Reno in March to use our studying and practicing skills for competition. We will also find out the results of the Healthcare Issues Test.
