At the 40th conference, Lake Worth resident Sophie Paris Ginsburg competed — after earning a first place at the state competition and second place at the regional competition — and earned a gold medal in the category Medical Interviewing Skills. Ginsburg, 16, will be a junior at Somerset Academy Canyons High School in Boynton Beach, where she is in the Science Pre-Medical Academy. Her teacher, Kristin Berry, encouraged her to become active in HOSA, an acronym for Health Occupations Students of America. ‘It was surreal to stand up in front of 10,000 science and medical competitors at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort convention center to accept a gold medal in my category for Interviewing Skills,’ Ginsburg said. ‘I was honored and humbled and happy to bring it home to share with my school and community.’ Photo provided
