For medical students in the class of 2024, this was their reality as they began their journey at the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa <a href=\"http:\/\/jabsom.hawaii.edu\">John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> (<abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>) in July 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Due to <abbr>COVID-19<\/abbr>, our class missed out in getting to know each other. Not only did we have to overcome the struggles of a global pandemic and starting medical school, we had to do it practically isolated from our classmates,&rdquo; said <strong>Amanda Tsuhako<\/strong>, <abbr title=\"doctor of medicine\">MD<\/abbr> 2024 candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Wanting to bond with her classmates, <abbr>MD<\/abbr> 2024 candidate <strong>Vera Ong<\/strong> came up with the idea for them to create a music video&#8212;a fun project that would allow them to get to know each other outside of class while also showcasing their artistic talents.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Through this video, we proved to ourselves that a little creativity and a lot of communication can go a long way,&rdquo; said Ong. She added that her classmates were very receptive to the idea and willing to participate, with many volunteering to sing, act, dance, play musical instruments and edit the video.<\/p>\n<h2>Going the distance<\/h2>\n<p>The students came up with a number of song options, but ultimately &ldquo;How Far I\u2019ll Go&rdquo; from Disney\u2019s <em>Moana<\/em> won by a landslide. The planning of the project commenced in July 2020 shortly after they began medical school.<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics were finalized in August, students recorded their instruments and vocals in the Medical Education Building auditorium-turned <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr> music studio in November, and the video was completed in January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The project turned out to be a full production complete with 30 individuals involved in the logistics, acting, dancing and creating the music. The music video involved special faculty cameos, including Dean <strong>Jerris Hedges<\/strong>, as well as support from faculty and staff throughout <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>. <\/p>\n<p>The <abbr>MD<\/abbr> Class of 2024 hopes the video brings joy to all those who watch it and encourages the <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> community to continue to stay strong during this pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jabsom.hawaii.edu\/md2024musicvideo\/\">For more, see the <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr> website.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This work is an example of <abbr title=\"University of Hawaii\">UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/manoa-2025-strategic-plan.pdf#page=20\">Enhancing Student Success<\/a> (<span class=\"small-text\"><abbr title=\"Portable Document Format\">PDF<\/abbr><\/span>), one of four goals identified in the <a href=\"https:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/manoa-2025-strategic-plan.pdf\">2015\u201325 Â鶹´«Ã½<\/a> (<span class=\"small-text\"><abbr title=\"Portable Document Format\">PDF<\/abbr><\/span>), updated in December 2020. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_134404\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-134404\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/manoa-jabsom-music-video-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kaitlyn Takata playing keyboard\" width=\"676\" height=\"381\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/manoa-jabsom-music-video-1.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/manoa-jabsom-music-video-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/manoa-jabsom-music-video-1-130x73.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-134404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kaitlyn Takata playing the keyboard above the <span aria-label=\"Kakaako\">Ka&#699;kaako<\/span> campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To the tune of &ldquo;How Far I\u02bbll Go,&rdquo; the music video project encourages joy and to stay strong during this pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[1411,1419,165,31,1466,9,56],"class_list":["post-134398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-covid-19","tag-covid-19-online-instruction","tag-health","tag-john-a-burns-school-of-medicine","tag-manoa-enhancing-student-success","tag-uh-manoa","tag-video-2","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134398"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":134418,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134398\/revisions\/134418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
