Washington, D.C., June 13, 2022 – The Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) is partnering with Future Health Professionals-HOSA to sponsor a veterinary science competition at HOSA’s 2022 International Leadership Conference, June 22-25 in Nashville, Tennessee.
HOSA is a global, student-led organization that promotes health industry career opportunities.
The event is part of a year-long sponsorship that is designed to generate maximum visibility for the veterinary medical profession and provide young people interested in veterinary science with role models, mentors, and the most up-todate materials available to help them make informed career choices.
The Veterinary Science Competitive Event will showcase outstanding veterinary science competitors from HOSA-chartered associations and local chapters, enabling members to learn more about veterinary medical care and what knowledge and skills are required for the diagnosis and treatment of animals.
“The sponsorship between AAVMC and HOSA provides a ‘win-win’ for both organizations,” said HOSA Executive Director Jim Koeninger. “It provides young people interested in veterinary science with the best role models and mentors possible combined with the AAVMC’s pipeline of young people who are involved in making career choices.”
