Central Tech participated in the 2023 Oklahoma HOSA-Future Health Professionals State Leadership Conference, formerly known as Health Occupations Students of America. The event was held April 17-19, at the Embassy Suites Conference and Convention Center in Norman, OK.
Central Tech’s Medical Assisting, Health Careers, Biomedical Science Academy, and Advanced Health Careers programs recently participated in a variety of competitive events. These events included a wide range of health-related activities, such as Extemporaneous Writing, Job Seeking, Prepared Speaking, CPR First-Aide, Home Health Aide, Health Career Display, and Biomedical Debate.
Central Tech is pleased to announce that our students showed impressive skills in seven events, with two qualifying for nationals.
