Which division is NOT part of HOSA?

HOSA, or the Health Occupations Students of America, is structured into various divisions to cater to different educational levels and interests in health-related careers. These divisions include Secondary, Middle School, and Professional, which collectively embrace a wide range of students from various backgrounds and levels of education.

The University division, however, does not exist within HOSA. While there are professional categories aimed at established health professionals, there is no specific division dedicated to university-level students as a standalone category. Instead, those pursuing health careers at the university level may participate in the Professional division or engage in HOSA activities through the chapters available at their institutions, but they are not classified under a distinct university division.

The presence of Middle School, Secondary, and Professional divisions is designed to encompass a broad spectrum of age groups and educational stages, while the lack of a University division aligns with HOSA's focus primarily on pre-professional students rather than those already in the university system. This framework allows HOSA to target its resources and programming effectively according to the participants' educational stages.
