Extemporaneous Writing—Health Policy allows HOSA members to gain the knowledge and skills to write an effective letter to a policymaker. On the day of the competition, competitors will receive a secret topic that outlines a relevant health policy or issue with supporting details. Competitors will draft their letters in 60 minutes to submit to judges. This event aims to inspire members to learn more about current health policy and feel empowered to make a difference by voicing their opinions on important health topics to applicable decision-makers to effect change.
There is only one round for this event. Competitors will be given 1 hour to write their letter.
