Parliamentary Procedure
The event guidelines contain a sample problem that includes one or two main motions, with four or five other types of motions to be applied to the main motion in the course of the meeting. The event guidelines contain a sample problem. Typically, the problem includes a crime scene or description of the events leading to the death of a victim(s), and additional documentation which generally includes an autopsy. 2012-13 topic is: No Pressure! Tips for Recognizing and Preventing Hypertension The actual title can be changed by the team, as long as the PSA encourages the public to recognize and prevent hypertension.
Forensic Medicine
Medical Reading
The event is now an individual test. Ten multiple choice and one short essay question will come from each of the following five books: Brain Rules by John Medina The Third Wave by Alison Thompson Dont Kill the Birthday Girl by Sandra Beasley The Deadly Dinner Party by Jonathan A. Edlow, MD The End of Illness by David B. Angus, MD
Skill Events
Each skill event with procedures is written up as a scenario that requires the competitor to demonstrate 1-3 skills (procedures) as listed in the event guidelines as part of a potential situation in which a health care worker might actually perform the skill(s). The competitor performs the procedures of the event and is evaluated by a judge or judges. November 4-10, 2012 The preferred dates for HOSA Week will be the first full week (Sunday through Saturday) of November. If desired, chapters may designate an alternate week as HOSA Week for their chapter to fulfill the requirements of this event.

RECOGNITION
Competitors are expected to read and comply with all the rules outlined in the General Rules and Regulations. They are no less important than the specific event guidelines, and serve to communicate the details and processes of the National HOSA Competitive Events Program to HOSA members, event personnel and judges. CELL PHONE POLICY - Competitors may not use cell phones during HOSA competitive events. Competitors may be asked to place their cell phones on the table in the off position (or with the battery removed) in plain sight of the Section Leaders, during the event. If the cell phone makes any noise or vibrates during the event, penalty points may be assessed. Judge cell phones and pagers must be turned off during competitive events. Communication Rule It is the competitors responsibility to communicate fully and effectively with judges. In spelling events, this may include verbalizing capitalization, separate words, and punctuation. For skill events, this may include thinking out loud so that judges are clear on why the competitors are doing what they are doing.
Online Registration Change NLC delegates who completed any of the following recognition events should register for the event during online conference registration. State Advisors will forward the names of qualified HOSA members who are not attending the NLC. Barbara James Service Award National Recognition Portfolio National Service Project HOSA Week HOSA Happenings
State Advisors will submit the Outstanding State Leader, flag bearer, and voting delegates. Chapter members who wish to be a member of the National Courtesy Corps should register online with their conference registration. Chapter members who are helping with their states competitive event (we call them Event Assistants) should NOT register online. Your state and local advisor will have that information.
Revision of Team Eligibility Rule - A team event must include at least 25% of the members who were members of the winning team at the state level. Other qualified student members may be substituted or added in the remaining team positions so that the number of team members is consistent with the rules for that event.

* For all written tests, competitors MUST bring their own pencil. Pencils will not be provided.

Rules to Remember
For all written tests, it is the responsibility of the competitor to bring pencils for the event. At the national level, competitors may compete in ONE EVENT ONLY, with the exception of Recognition events. Individual and team participants in national competition must have competed in the same competitive event at the state level for which they are entered at the national level. This competition must have taken place in the school year immediately preceding the HOSA NLC. [Exception to this rule: Healthcare Issues Exam, substitutes or additions to team events, and Recognition events.] Students must be appropriately dressed for BOTH the test and the skill event. (Clothing considered appropriate for the skill event will be allowed for the test.) FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES Every year, competitors lost valuable points because they failed to follow the rules clearly described in the event guidelines. BE SURE you know and understand the rules for your event before participating in state and national competition.
