What will the study resources provide?
Each event has different resources, but they may contain the following:
- Written packages containing information from the source material
- Powerpoint slideshow decks containing information from the source material
- Supplementary material, including quizzes, videos, or recommended electronic flashcard decks
- In events with procedural rounds, a package is distributed with videos to help learn the skills required, the rubric, and more
The official Event Guidelines should always be referenced first.
Additionally, please note that the packages and slides created based on the textbooks contain the information HOSA Canada believes will be covered by the test according to historical data. However, because the tests are created by International HOSA, resources may be too detailed in some areas while lacking in others. If you find this is the case for your event after the exams, please fill in the feedback form in any of the relevant event preparation documents so our team can best curate the material for student preparation.
If a student would like to study all the information for their event, it is recommended that they acquire the textbooks individually or within their chapter.
