Jill Omori; JABSOM MS4 student Leimomi Kanagusuku.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p>By Tina Shelton, UH Med Now<\/p><p>Do YOU know who the first woman physician to graduate from an American medical school was? That question, posed by Dr. Kalani Brady, captivated the audience right from the start, at the 2017 Women in Medicine Symposium, held today in the Medical Education Building.<\/p><p>The program featured University of Hawai\u02bbi (UH) John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) leaders including emcee Winona Lee, MD (Director, \u02bbImi Ho\u02bb\u014dla Post-Baccalaureate Program, Principal Investigator, Native Hawaiian Center of Excellence) and panelists Dr. Marla Berry (Chair of Cell and Molecular Biology), Kamal Masaki, MD (Chair of Geriatric Medicine), Jill Omori, MD (Director of the Office of Medical Education) and Leimomi Kanagusuku (President and MD Candidate, JABSOM MD Class of 2018).<\/p><p>Dr. Brady, Director of Faculty Affairs at JABSOM, answered the question he posed: Elizabeth Blackwell, MD, a physicist, was the first female doctor graduated from a U.S. medical school. Brady also noted that the first Native Hawaiian woman MD was Roberta Apau Ikemoto, a radiologist and graduate of the University of California at San Francisco medical school. Brady also provided the following facts:<\/p><p><strong>Distribution of Physicians by gender (Source: Kaiser Family Foundation):<\/strong><br \/>All U.S. states:<br \/>Women &#8211; 313,874 and Men- 608,685 Men<br \/>Hawai\u2019i: Women-1,071 and Men &#8211; 2046<br \/>* Those with active MD or DO licenses in state<\/p><div id=\"attachment_57813\">\u00a0<\/div><div><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/uhphawaii.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_1410.jpg?resize=800%2C539&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" \/><\/div><p>From left: Dr. Kamal Masaki, Dr. Marla Berry, Dr. Jill Omori and MD Candidate Leimomi Kanagusuku.<\/p><p><strong>Among the Best Advice Shared by the Panelists:<\/strong><br \/>Scientist Dr. Marla Berry advised that it helps to consider everyone\u2019s skills, including those who may be competing for the same funding sources as you. \u201cTurn your competition into colleagues,\u201d she advised, explaining that in doing so you can learn from them, and those relationships can spur collaboration as well.<\/p><p>Geriatric Medicine Chair Kamal Masaki, MD said it is critical to balance life and family. In her own life, she said she told her family that as important as her passion for medicine is to her, they would be \u201cfirst\u201d in her life. She even said if her family asked, she would be willing to give up her professional career.<\/p><p>Office of Medical Education Director Jill Omori, MD (JABSOM MD Alumna) advised, \u201cFollow your passion.\u201d Omori is passionate about health care for underprivileged Hawai\u2019i residents, which led her to create the HOME (Homeless Outreach and Medical Education) Project <a href=\"http:\/\/jabsom.hawaii.edu\/h-o-m-e-projects-dr-jill-omori-presented-with-hawai%ca%bbi-women-lawyers-distinguished-service-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Read More)<\/a> eleven years ago. She also said, \u201cI would not be where I am today without PBL (the Problem-Based Learning curriculum at JABSOM). Dr. Omori said the small group-learning JABSOM fosters builds strong communication and leadership skills among MD student.<\/p><p>JABSOM MD 2018 Class President Leimomi Kanagusuku spoke of the importance of family too. She grew up on a chicken farm in Wai\u2019anae to become the first in her family to go to college, and the first physician. But when her grandmother became seriously ill, she left Stanford University to come home to be at her grandmother\u2019s side because \u201cshe raised me.\u201d Kanagusuku returned later to Stanford and completed the JABSOM \u02bbImi Ho\u02bb\u014dla Post-Baccalaureate Program and will graduate with her MD degree next May.<\/p><p>Kanagusuku also reflected on having worked numerous entry-level jobs in her youth, including at hotels and restaurants in Hawai\u02bbi. \u201cEveryone should work in hospitality at some point,\u201d said Kanagusuku. \u201cYou learn so much that helps you, including how to speak well, and how to get to know people quickly and how to make them comfortable.\u201d The \u02bbImi program at JABSOM, Kanagusuku added, gave her confidence and a second family \u2014 the fellow \u02bbImi class members.<\/p><p>The JABSOM Women in Medicine symposium is held annually in conjunction with September, Women in Medicine month, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) of which JABSOM is a member, and coordinated at JABSOM by Lori Mitsue M. Emery, JABSOM Faculty Development Coordinator, with support from the Native Hawaiian Center of Excellence.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/uhmed\/sets\/72157686727303000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to view the other photos from the event.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-51774921 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"51774921\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-75c1db57\" data-id=\"75c1db57\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ff3d805 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5ff3d805\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/news-all\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">&lt;&lt;   &nbsp;Return To News<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 29, 2017 &#8212; Dr. Kamal Masaki and Dr. Jill Omori, along with JABSOM 2018 candidate (now Dr.) Leimomi Kanagusuku, were panelists at the Women in Medicine discussion at JABSOM. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21740,"featured_media":1957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[38,47,42],"class_list":["post-1956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-department-of-family-medicine","tag-department-of-geriatric-medicine","tag-department-of-native-hawaiian-health"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/uhphawaii.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/WIM.2017.Group6x4..jpg?fit=600%2C400&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21740"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1956"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12860,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956\/revisions\/12860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
