Time Saver: Medical and Code of Conduct Forms
Each year advisors often have to have students complete Medical and Code of Conduct forms three different times for Ohio HOSA sponsored events (Fall Leadership Conference; Regional Competitive Events; and State Leadership Conference). In an effort to reduce advisor workload, we are encouraging you to have each member complete both forms and then the chapter mail the forms to the State Advisor.

In turn Ohio HOSA will maintain the forms and have them available at each event. Therefore, an advisor would not need to submit copies at each Ohio HOSA sponsored event.

To accomplish this advisors may wish to have students complete these forms the first several weeks of school. You may download and print the forms by clicking on the below link.

Mail completed student and advisor forms to:

Ohio HOSA
5943 Ocala Court
Galloway, OH 43119

Advisors are still encouraged to bring a copy of the form for their use in case of need and also the student should have a coy of their medical form with them at all tmes during thei respective event.

Note: This is not required -- you may choose to bring the appropriate forms day of the event. Additional forms for new members may be mailed in as you affiliate members.
Affiliate Your Chapter and Members
The Chapter Affiliation System is currently open and available for you to complete your membership roster. All students enrolled in your program and/or who have an interest being a part of HOSA should be affiliated as quickly as possible. Remember that affiliation of your membership roster is required before anyone specific. Affiliation cost is $20/person. This includes students and advisors, and others you may wish to sign up.

Blair Hoeting from William Mason HS Great Oaks placed first in the Nation in Pathophysiology. Blair shared, "Stepping on to that podium, it didn't really sink in as to what just happened and how many people were in that audience. By the time I made it back to my seat, I was met with so much excitement and joy from my team, and a phone that was blowing up from excitement from my family, who was watching the live stream."
