1. Go to our registration page at shop.hosacanada.org.
2. Click “Create account” underneath the “Sign In” button.
3. Fill in the form. Make sure you have typed your email correctly because that’s where your Google Classroom resource link will be sent to.

4. Upon completion of the form, click “Create Account”. If you have filled in all of the fields correctly, you will get a notification email and you will be taken to our Store.

Step 2: Purchase your membership and conference admissions

There are three packages that we currently offer: membership option, conference option, and membership and conference option. Students must pay the membership fee before purchasing conference admissions. A detailed description of what each package offers can be found on their respective product pages at shop.hosacanada.org.

Only one membership and one conference admission can be purchased for an account on shop.hosacanada.org. If two students from the same household or school want to purchase membership/conference package, they must do so with separate accounts.

1. Select the package you would like to purchase.
2. Click “Add to Cart”.
3. Click “View Cart” on the top right corner or click on the bag icon on the top right corner.
4. Review the item in your cart and when you’re ready to proceed, click “Check Out”.
5. Fill in your billing address.
6. Fill in your credit card information or checkout using PayPal. We do not keep any of your payment information.
7. Once your payment has gone through, you will be shown a order confirmation page and you will receive an email. Click on “Continue Shopping”

Fees

Membership Fee: $45 CAD
Members will have access to US HOSA’s benefits (http://hosa.org/node/26), which include scholarships and shadowing opportunities. In addition, students will get access to resources for their chosen competitive event offered by HOSA Canada through the Google Classroom platform. Once membership is purchased, a Google Classroom login will be sent to the email used to register within 7 business days. A five dollar transaction fee is included in this fee.

Conference Fee: $45 CAD
The conference fee covers two conferences: Fall Leadership Conference (FLC) and Spring Leadership Conference (SLC). If students register after FLC, there is no discount for SLC.

FLC allows students to participate in their selected events online without elimination and are able to see how they ranked against their peers. This information provides valuable insight before the SLC which qualifies students for the international competition. Students may also change their event after FLC if they choose to do so. Top three and top ten certificates will also be awarded for FLC.

SLC is the highlight conference for HOSA members. Although the conference will be held online in 2021, we will be evaluating the practical component for events via video conferencing. Online workshops hosted by allied healthcare professionals will also be streamed for HOSA conference members. Workshops such as suturing, knot tying, and more are returning this year. Top three finalists will receive a certificate and the opportunity to compete at the International Leadership Conference. Top ten qualifiers will receive a certificate.

Combined membership and conference fee: $85 CAD
