In which category of competitive events can associate members participate?

Associate members are individuals who may be interested in health occupations but are not enrolled in a health science program. In the context of competitive events, these individuals are allowed to participate in specific event categories that are designed to accommodate their level of experience and education. Category 3 is specifically structured to include events that permit associate members to showcase their skills and knowledge in a competitive environment.

Participation in this category provides a platform for associate members to engage in health-related competitions and gain valuable experience, which can enhance their proficiency and enthusiasm for pursuing careers in health occupations. Other categories may be tailored to students who are actively enrolled in health-related programs or have more advanced credentials, creating a delineation that explains why associate members are best suited for Category 3.
