Elite Academic Academy is pleased to announce that they are the first non-classroom-based program to earn acceptance as an official HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) California Chapter.

“Starting a HOSA chapter at Elite opens up a world of opportunity for our students,” said Lupe Rodriguez, Associate Director of Career Technical Education (CTE) at Elite Academic Academy.” It’s more than just learning about health science and careers; it’s about developing leadership skills, understanding the importance of ethical practices, and building a strong sense of community. HOSA gives students a glimpse into the healthcare industry, inspiring a more profound interest and passion in medicine. It’s an excellent way for them to gain real-world insights and prepare for future careers in healthcare. I’m excited to see how this chapter will help develop compassionate, skilled professionals ready to make a real difference.”

HOSA, renowned as a Career Technical Student Organization, is tailored for students with a keen interest in pursuing rewarding careers within the health professions sector. HOSA offers invaluable opportunities for leadership development, motivation, and recognition. Through active participation in HOSA, students gain access to diverse avenues for enhancing their knowledge, refining their skills, and honing their leadership abilities. This includes engagement in competitive events, educational workshops, and valuable networking opportunities with esteemed healthcare professionals.
