Students enrolled in National Park College’s (NPC) Medical Professions program through the NPC Career Academy earned top honors at the HOSA–Future Health Professionals state competition last month.
HOSA–Future Health Professionals is a student‑led organization supported through the U.S. Department of Education that prepares future health care professionals through competitive events and leadership development.
A team of NPC Career Academy Medical Professions students competed in the event, with two students placing in the top three in their fields.
Abby Cousins, a student at Lake Hamilton High School, earned first place in Pharmacy Science, becoming a gold state champion and receiving a HOSA gold scholarship for her performance.
Lakin Hayes, a student at Lakeside High School, earned a silver medal in Dental Science, placing second in the state.
“These achievements reflect the dedication and professionalism of our students,” said Tabatha Clark, Medical Professions instructor at NPC. “We are so proud of these students for their achievements and for being a great representation of our high school NPC Medical Professions team.”
