It is always our priority to be offering competitive events that are relevant to curriculum and courses in Nevada programs. If you have a suggestion for a competitive event to be added for Nevada HOSA, please submit it to stateadvisor@nevadahosa.org.

Please note: Competitive Event suggestions are reviewed annually. Typically, no competitive events will be added after August of each year and suggestions will be maintained for review the following year.
