Do competitors receive points for selecting a project that focuses on a health or safety issue of interest?

The correct choice is that competitors do indeed receive points for selecting a project that focuses on a health or safety issue of interest. This emphasizes the importance of addressing relevant health and safety concerns within communities, aligning with HOSA’s mission to promote health-related education and service. By choosing topics that resonate with current health or safety issues, participants are not only engaging with the subject matter but also potentially making a positive impact on their communities.

Selecting meaningful and significant health or safety topics demonstrates an understanding of the issues that affect people’s lives and reflects the goals of the HOSA organization. This points-based recognition incentivizes competitors to delve into important issues, thereby fostering a greater awareness and commitment to health promotion and safety advocacy among future health professionals.
