Maika_i Loa: Attain Lasting Optimal Health for All (ALOHA). The school aims to be the premier medical school in the Pacific, training and educating a diverse community of physicians, biomedical scientists and allied health workers who are committed to our vision of ALOHA: Attain Lasting Optimal Health for All. Our MD program is unique in its use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and community-based medicine. Students are trained in affiliated community hospitals and clinics, which gives them real-world experience from the start. Our research has received international recognition for its pioneering work on human fertility, human heredity, comparative genetics, evolution theory, infectious disease, pharmacology and cross-cultural psychiatry, among many other fields. The school is also affiliated with the University of Hawai_i Cancer Center. Due to the state�s unique location in the middle of the Pacific and its history of immigration, the state is a melting pot of diverse ethnic groups. JABSOM�s primary research focus is on improving the health of several of our ethnic groups, many of whom are otherwise underrepresented in research and who face a disproportionate burden of chronic disease. The school is ideally qualified for this work due to its diverse population and its commitment to conducting research with those groups in a culturally humble and community-engaged manner. JABSOM, as part of the fabric of Hawai_i, is a diverse learning community committed to excellence and leadership in: Educating current and future healthcare professionals and leaders Delivering high-quality healthcare Conducting research and translating discoveries into practice Establishing community partnerships and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration Pursuing alliances unique to Hawai_i and the Asia-Pacific region Acting with forethought regarding right relationships, respect, and moral action.
