For a third year, HOSA students<br />
participated in a variety of different<br />
health care professional symposia<br />
including clinical laboratory science,<br />
dentistry, exercise science, nursing,<br />
pharmacy, physical therapy,<br />
occupational therapy, and respiratory<br />
therapy.<br />
KY HOSA was honored to have Dedra<br />
DeBerry, a health education coordinator<br />
with Northwest Area Health Education<br />
Center (AHEC), plan and coordinate the<br />
meaningful experience for students.<br />
DeBerry:<br />
“The Northwest Area Health Education Center (AHEC) promotes increasing the health profession<br />
workforce through the recruitment and retention of health professionals in medically underserved<br />
areas. Coordinating the Health Careers Expo during the Education Symposia for HOSA students<br />
provides an opportunity to showcase a variety of health professions <strong>–</strong> some of which the students<br />
may not have considered.<br />
“It is exciting to hear the students say they want to visit all the health career presentations.”
