South Dakota HOSA-Future Health Professionals will host its 10th annual State Leadership Conference on Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31, 2023 at the Sanford Pentagon, Sanford Fieldhouse, USD Sioux Falls Campus and Southeast Technical College.
We are planning for 800+ attendees come and compete in over 55 events, attend 40 breakout sessions, and engage in 12 tours. Members also partake in a robust college/career fair, keynote speaker, banquet and grand award session.
Attending SD HOSA's State Leadership Conference will provide students the learning opportunities, competitions, academic symposiums, and educational tours needed to progress toward a future health career.
Students compete for awards and scholarships with an opportunity to earn their way to HOSA's International Leadership Conference in June. HOSA members may compete in THREE competitive events. However, TWO must be online events only. Some events require an upload to TALLO. Information on TALLO is located near the bottom of this page. Other information regarding competition is located on this page as well.
We aim to keep you INFORMED of all the possibilities SD HOSA members should look forward to by attending and participating in these ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES focused on tapping the POTENTIAL within every student.
