The wa\u2019a are traditional Polynesian in design and are guided by navigators adept at ancestral Pacific navigational science. \u00a0The world voyage brings focus to the traditional assets of Pacific Culture and Pacific traditional Science, highlights\u00a0M\u0101lama Honua (to care for the earth), and aims to demonstrate the power and necessity of a Pacific and Hawaiian cultural renaissance, especially as it relates to the health of \u00a0Pacific peoples. After 3 years and over 40,000 nautical miles of sailing leg 31 B, the canoe&#8217;s voyage from Tahiti to Hawai\u2019i was completed on June 17, 2017.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 3 years and over 40,000 nautical miles of sailing leg 31 B, Tahiti to Hawai\u2019i was completed on June 17, 2017. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JABSOM faculty physicians, whose primary duty is to serve as the wa\u2019a medical officers, have been an integral part of the M\u0101lama Honua worldwide voyage and the Polynesian Voyaging Society. In 1976, prior to M\u0101lama Honua,\u00a0Dr. Benjamin Young sailed on the H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba\u2019s maiden voyage from Tahiti to Hawai&#8217;i. During the last three years of the M\u0101lama Honua worldwide voyage, faculty from the Department of Native Hawaiian Health, Dr. Marjorie Leimomi Mau sailed from Tautira, Tahiti to Rarotonga Cook Islands; Dr. DeAnn Leialoha Carpenter crewed from the Cook Islands to Samoa; and Dr. Martina Kamaka journeyed from Waitangi to Auckland in New Zeland in 2014. Dr. Neal A. Palafox (Department of Family Medicine and Community Health) voyaged on the homecoming leg, Tautira, Tahiti to Hawai&#8217;i, aboard the Hikianalia from Tautira, Tahiti to Hawai\u2019i from May 2017 to June 2017. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JABSOM faculty physicians grew into the Malama Honua voyage. Dr. Mau sailed on the H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba in Pohnpei in 2009, Dr. Kamaka trained with several JABSOM medical students on the H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba, and Dr. Palafox met Master Navigator Mao Pialug in the 70\u2019s and worked with PVS attempting to initiate resident participation in the Polynesian Voyaging Society in 2004. <\/span><\/p><p>There is a long list of JABSOM graduates who have had major roles in PVS and the Malama Honua voyage.\u00a0A few stand out. Dr. Ben Tamura was a member of the PVS since 1991 and currently coordinates the medical support for all PVS voyages.\u00a0 Dr. Nathan Wong sailed many of the early voyages (1980-1990) and Dr. Melvin Chang has sailed many of the later voyages since 2000.<\/p><p>The list of Hawaii\u2019s Community physicians who have participated is equally long. The list of the volunteer physicians from the JABSOM family and Hawai\u2019i&#8217;s community is listed at the end of the article.<\/p><p><strong>Relevance of M\u0101lama Honua, Voyaging Society to JABSOM<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the relevance of M\u0101lama Honua and the PVS to JABSOM? Beyond faculty clinicians providing essential medical screening, acute medical care, and preventive health services for the crew, what else is there? The H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba and Hikianalia, are metaphorically, and in real time, spaces and vessels of learning. The learning is experiential to includes methods of traditional building and sailing of the wa\u2019a, understanding the relationship of the wind, stars, moon, and sun to the destination, and witnessing climate change from a Pacific lens.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JABSOM is also a vessel for learning and specifically has the kuleana\u00a0(responsibility) to create and nourish a space to understand the nature of, and proactively promote healthy lives for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Looking through the prism of an academic faculty physician at the John A. Burns School of Medicine sailing with the M\u0101lama Honua Voyage had everything to do with the Pacific people\u2019s health&#8212; and societal well-being. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M\u0101lama Honua articulates with health in domains that the healthcare institutions could and should better understand. \u00a0The healing process of the wounds associated with modern societal movement and its associated structural violence to Pacific peoples begins with this understanding. \u00a0On the voyage, we the faculty were able to touch Earth\u2019s changing environment. \u00a0Our senses were awakened to reaffirm how identity, culture, tradition, ancestry, physical activity, nutrition, policy, and globalization, all weigh on the health of the Pacific.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our kuleana, as JABSOM clinical faculty, is to teach and apply what we learned, as we have been provided an important dialogue about health and health care. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who are interested in being part of the voyage&#8211; several ability and aptitude tests are required of crew members, including:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a) physical fitness (swim a timed nautical mile (1.2 miles) in the ocean, a timed mile run\/walk, pushups and pull-ups)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>b) assessment of basic sailing \u00a0proficiency (able to steer with a traditional sweep (hoe), understand basic traditional navigation methods, setting sails\/rigging and sail knot tying)<br \/>c) \u00a0having appropriate cultural knowledge (understanding and reciting cultural protocol, mele (songs), pules (prayers), oli (chants ) for proper entrance\/leaving \/respect in Tahiti and Hawai\u2019i)<br \/>d) being comfortable with and on the open ocean<br \/>e) \u00a0being able to fit and work with all crew members<br \/>f) and most importantly a crew member must believe in and practice PVS values and its mission. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Physical, mental and emotional preparedness are certainly required; however, other assets are necessary. One must feel, breathe, and live the ancestral, cultural, environmental, and spiritual dimensions of the voyage; in context of the past, present and future. \u00a0There is no book which can ready one for those dimensions of the voyage. \u00a0There is great mana (power) that encompasses all parts of the voyage.<\/span><\/p><p>Disclaimer: Be careful, the voyage is often an unexpected life changing adventure.<\/p><p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p><p>Below is a full list of JABSOM volunteer physicians who have sailed with the Polynesian Voyaging Society:<br \/>* = JABSOM Faculty and or Alumni<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before 1991 (Hokulea Maiden Voyages):<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;
