Kotrodimos<\/strong><\/p><p>A big step into the future was taken by the 72 members of JABSOM\u2019s MD Class of 2022 when they were officially welcomed as new medical students at the White Coat Ceremony at Farrington High School on July 20.<\/p><p>In the White Coat Ceremony, the incoming class of medical students are \u201ccloaked\u201d by a person of their choice (often a family member or mentor) with the white, waist-length lab coats which will become the first uniform of their chosen profession.\u00a0 For the class of 2022, this was a well-earned honor, as these 72 students were selected from 2,050 applicants. Eleven members of the new class came through the challenging \u02bbImi Ho\u02bbola Post-Baccalaureate Program, which makes this the largest \u02bbImi class thus far to matriculate into the medical college.\u00a0 Nine members of the new class have Master\u2019s Degrees and one has earned a PhD at JABSOM.\u00a0 All certainly worked hard to earn their place at the U.H. medical school and get started on their careers as doctors.<\/p><p>Of the 72 students admitted to this incoming class, 47 are from Oahu, five come from Maui, two are from Hawai\u2019i Island, two are from Kaua\u02bbi, ten are from the US Mainland or Canada, two come from Guam, and one is from the Pacific Island of Saipan. This is a mix which reflects the JABSOM commitment to increasing the diversity of its student body and\u00a0its success\u00a0in recruiting, retaining and graduating students from underrepresented backgrounds and underserved areas in Hawai\u02bbi and the Pacific Basin.<\/p><p>But White Coat is never just about the students, impressive as they are; it is just as momentous of an occasion for the parents who proudly came to see their future doctors receive the symbolic white coat which will identify them as medical students in hospitals and clinics throughout the island.\u00a0 One father said that his family moved from rural Moloka\u02bbi Island to Oahu just so that his daughter could attend a highly regarded private school to prepare for an education in medicine. The mother of the student from Saipan was there as well, giving credit to all the teachers, neighbors, community leaders, and organizations who contributed to her son\u2019s acceptance into medical school.<\/p><p>This will be the 30<sup>th<\/sup> class to study medicine in JABSOM\u2019s \u201cProblem-Based Learning\u201d (PBL), in which active hands-on, mentor-to-student and student-to-student learning methods are emphasized over a reliance on a lecture-based style of teaching.\u00a0\u00a0Additionally,\u00a0educa<wbr \/>tional curricula is incorporated that encourages students to examine the needs of underserved communities. Opportunities exist\u00a0 for students to gain experience while providing community service through community health electives, optional selective summer courses in rural and\/or international sites, and student-led interest groups such as Partners for Social Justice.<\/p><p>Congrats to the incoming Class of 2022! We at UHP look forward to supporting you and the JABSOM\u00a0vision of ALOHA: Attaining Lasting Optimal Health for All.<\/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-320519fc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"320519fc\" 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-6c6c6d9a\" data-id=\"6c6c6d9a\" 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-63dc57ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"63dc57ca\" 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>July 23, 2018 &#8212; Meet the 72 new members of the JABSOM Class of 2022!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":2716,"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":[37],"class_list":["post-2715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-central"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/uhphawaii.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/42952107114_6799fa2248_k.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2715","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\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2715"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2715\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12900,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2715\/revisions\/12900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uhphawaii.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
