Behavior Health is promoting mental well-being. It also is support and treatment for the disorders. This knowledge test will be based on the mind’s biology, treatments and services, the disorders, and prevention. As well as recovery, integration in health care, wellness, laws, careers and history. For more information, visit http://www.hosa.org/sites/default/files/KT15.pdf.
Bio Medical Debate is a team event with 3-4 team members. There will be a pre—selected topic, (This years topic: The benefits of genetically modified foods outweigh the harms). There will be two rounds. The first of which will be a multiple choice test, with 50 questions about the topic. The teams will then be randomly paired for round two. Teams will draw for affirmative or negative, then they will have two minutes to prepare. Three team members must speak. The pattern is Affirmative Constructive Speech, Negative Cross-Examination, Negative Constructive, Affirmative Cross-Examination, Affirmative Rebuttal, Negative Rebuttal, and Final Affirmative Rebuttal. For more information, visit http://www.hosa.org/sites/default/files/BD15.pdf. At this website, there is also possible websites to go to, to learn about the topic.

2015 ND Fall Leadership Conference Summary
Last month we held our Second Annual Fall Leadership Conference at Mayville State University. Here our members, as well as the state officer team, got to meet other students from around our fine
state. We all took part in icebreakers and networking. Immediately following that, Mr. Terry Kemmer, our Keynote Speaker, talked to us about leadership and this year’s theme, “Innovate, Inspire, and
Ignite”. While all of us did this, our advisors had a meeting. There, they discussed changes and even added a new event, Clinical Specialty, to this year’s Spring Leadership Conference. We all joined
back together for lunch. Following lunch, our members split up for Breakout Sessions. The
breakout sessions were split into four. Three of our breakout sessions were medical, which was put on by the nursing students from Mayville
State. The fourth breakout session focused
on leadership and was put on by your State Officers. We came together again to wrap-up and to say our final thank you and goodbyes.
