The Cal-HOSA Internship Program provides students with hands-on leadership and professional experience while supporting the planning and execution of Cal-HOSA programs, operations, and the California HOSA State Leadership Conference.
This year, the program offers 15 internship placements across two internship cycles, providing members with opportunities to gain real-world experience in areas such as conference operations, competitive events, programs, workshops, partnerships, and media. Interns will work closely with Cal-HOSA staff and leadership while developing valuable skills in leadership, communication, project management, teamwork, and organizational operations.
