HOSA: Future Health Professionals is a student organization for pre-health students pursuing careers in all areas of health care including medicine, dentistry, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant, administration, management, public health, and more. HOSA at Drake is an affiliate of HOSA International, a student organization across high schools, colleges, and universities around the world working to promote career opportunities in the health care industry and enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people.

At Drake, HOSA supports pre-health students through academic programming, social events, and professional development experiences such as leadership development, job shadowing, and graduate/professional school preparation.

HOSA has partnered with RightResponse to host a first-aid kit sale for students. This is a great idea especially for new students moving into the residence halls; commuting students driving to and from campus; and students active in athletics, intramurals, and other outdoor activities. HOSA makes 50% of all first-aid kit sales. All proceeds will go toward HOSA programming and events for students. Learn more and order and kit.

Sales end on Friday, July 2, at 11:30 p.m. All first-aid kits purchased must be picked up on campus during Welcome Week in August. HOSA will not be able to mail first-aid kits to off-campus locations. Students will be contacted via Drake email when first-aid kits are available for pick up on campus. For questions, contact fiona.kearns@drake.edu.
