Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training Program The NIH funded program will engage 9 undergraduates and 1 graduate student annually in international research projects in tropical medicine, infectious diseases and related health sciences. The Program takes place throughout one academic year. In the summer, students will participate in an 8 day “Introduction to Biomedical Research Workshop” at UH Manoa, and then spend ~9 weeks conducting mentored research in either Bangkok, Thailand, or Yaounde, Cameroon (Central Africa). After returning, students will attend a post-workshop session where they will discuss their summer research experiences in a group setting, work with biostatisticans on data analysis, discuss research results with faculty mentors, and begin preparing written reports. Each participating student will receive $1,000/month for 3 months for participating in the summer program. If you are interested in applying to the program, please contact Dr. Sandra Chang, Dr. Vivek R. Nerurkar, or Dr. Diane W. Taylor at MHIRT-L@lists.hawaii.edu for more information. Applications are due on December 1st, 2017
Looking for a paid summer research opportunity? INBRE applications for summer semester are open. Open to college and university students from most Hawaii schools (see participating schools here). Students do a semester of research under the supervision of a research lab supervisor. They also write a short paper summarizing their research and make a poster which they present at the Biomedical Symposium at JABSOM in April. Students receive $1000 upon completion of the program. To apply, students must find a lab supervisor first. They must email researchers on this list (attach their resume and cover letter) and ask the researcher if they could be the student’s lab supervisor. Lab supervisors also receive $1000 to cover lab supply costs. Email phcc@hawaii.edu for assistance with the application process. For more information, visit their website by clicking here. Spring ’18 applications will be available in late December.
Are you planning to apply to JABSOM? It is strongly recommended that you attend this demo (Note: this is different from PBL demos held by MSMP or PHCC). An orientation to the JABSOM curriculum will be held which includes an explanation of PBL and the opportunity to take part in a PBL exercise. A description of the educational program and a tour of the Medical Education Building will also be provided. Date offered: December 8, 2017 Friday – Register by December 1 to register, please email: Ms. Kori-Jo Kochi at kjkochi@hawaii.edu with your name, address, name of school (that you’re currently attending), contact number and which date you plan to attend (December 8, 2017). There is a possibility you could be placed on a waitlist. Clinical Labs of Hawaii Jobs Are you passionate about bringing the best laboratory healthcare to patients and physicians? Clinical Labs of Hawai'i are looking for dedicated individuals with outstanding skills and a commitment to high quality patient care to fill positions throughout the state of Hawaii. Our mission is to establish and promote professional partnerships and strategic alliances, while creating a professional work environment that fosters and recognizes individual contribution, teamwork, growth, and learning.
Pre-med? Apply today for our intensive summer shadowing program in European or South American hospitals. Shadow doctors. Medicine is a vocation. In order to more fully understand that vocation before committing to medical school, pre-med students should be exposed to the practice of medicine as often as possible. By participating in an Atlantis Fellowship, students spend roughly 100 hours shadowing doctors in multiple specialties in hospitals abroad. This high level of medical exposure affords students the opportunity to view medicine in action and guides them in their decision to continue to pursue medicine as a vocation. Stand out on your application. Medical schools naturally prefer to accept students who have demonstrated a devotion to the medical field as well as an understanding of what life as a physician entails. One of the best ways that students can demonstrate this devotion and understanding is to shadow doctors. In addition to providing the shadowing experience that proves a commitment to the profession, the Atlantis Fellowship helps students improve their med school applications through extra opportunities such as volunteering, medical humanities research, and MCAT and AMCAS prep. Learn abroad. Atlantis Fellows live and learn in new locations, growing in their understanding of other cultures. Through experiencing the differences between U.S. and international healthcare, Fellows distinguish the areas of overlap in these healthcare systems, clarifying the essential elements of medicine and the physician’s role. Finally, as most Atlantis Fellowship programs are hosted at government-run hospitals, students see firsthand the pros and cons of government-run Healthcare and are prepared to participate effectively in the debate surrounding the role of government in U.S. healthcare. Shadow over break. Atlantis Fellowships run during winter and summer university breaks so that Fellows do not miss important pre-requisite classes that are a part of their major.
