Five HOSA members attended Scrubs Camp in Yankton today! They got to hear from professionals and perform hands-on skills in eight career spotlights: Medical Laboratory Science, Nurse Anesthesia, Dental Hygiene, Radiology, Applied Behavior Analysis, Health Sciences, Nursing, and Public Health. These opportunities are excellent ways for our students to discover future career pathways in healthcare and reflect on what interests or doesn't interest them. What a fun day!
