Align Your Health Science Curriculum to the National Health Science Standards

The health science standards offer an answer to the question, “What does a worker need to know and be able to contribute to the delivery of safe and effective healthcare?” The standards represent core expectations transferrable to many health professions.

NCHSE’s National Health Science Standards and HOSA-Future Health Professionals’ Competitive Events Program crosswalk is a valuable resource designed to help health science teachers and HOSA advisors integrate and reinforce these industry-recognized national standards through engaging competitive events. This tool supports curriculum planning, ensures alignment with educational content, and guides students in selecting appropriate competitive events for their success. These middle school and secondary/postsecondary events crosswalks supports the curricular value of HOSA as a career and technical student organization.
