SAHIL SOOD - Eastern Region Vice President
“The truth is, you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.” – Marshall Mathers III

As a seven-year HOSA member, Sahil’s HOSA journey has encompassed a myriad of experiences, all of which have been instrumental in shaping his vision as he serves as the International Eastern Region Vice President. As a senior at Lambert High School, Sahil aspires to become a neuro-oncologist by investigating the intersection between science and communication to facilitate innovation in neuroscience. As a younger member of the IEC, Sahil aims to synthesize a conduit between HOSA’s members and the International Executive Council to forge lines of communication that ensure adequate representation of all HOSA members. He realizes the power HOSA possesses to unite students from a multitude of backgrounds and ages, and hopes to utilize his influence to foster collaboration amongst all divisions of HOSA to create a multifaceted, well-equipped coalition of future health professionals. His passion for advocacy and communication has invigorated him towards pursuing his mission of empowering those without a voice to democratize access and promote equity within healthcare. The transformative nature of HOSA has nurtured his growth as a student, leader, and scientist, and he is elated to have the opportunity to catalyze the same growth in members that he saw in himself. Outside of HOSA, Sahil is an internationally ranked debater and published scientific researcher. In his free time, you can find Sahil swimming, watching basketball or football, listening to music (send rap and R&B recommendations!), and cooking different recipes he finds on TikTok.
