2024 Wisconsin HOSA State Leadership Conference in Baraboo
On Facebook, Dr. Underly said: "The Wisconsin HOSA State Leadership Conference was AMAZING!
There was an incredible amount of energy and it gave me optimism for the future as middle and high school students embark on their academic and career journeys while exploring or pursuing healthcare careers.
An important part of their work is getting the word out and inspiring others to get involved. This awareness is a huge help for our efforts to develop a K-12 academic and career readiness system. We need all students interested in health professions to be able to easily explore their options, and create a plan that supports their individualized learning and future goals."
