Burns School of Medicine<\/a> (<abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>) at the <a href=\"http:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/\">University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> for its innovative longitudinal clerkships (an extended period of time during which a medical student is assigned to a community health center or physician&#8217;s office). He also said that Harvard modeled its program after <abbr>UH<\/abbr>&#8216;s.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We actually built our longitudinal clerkship program after having a phone call with the people here in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. So, yeah, we&#8217;re sort of one of the children of your program,&rdquo; said David Hirsh, director of the Harvard Medical School-Cambridge Integrated Clerkship, at the recent 2018 <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Health Professions Conference at <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> had this very strong sense of social accountability and community engagement. We saw those as fundamental to medical education as well. <span aria-label=\"Hawai\u02bbi\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> also thought very deliberately, &lsquo;How do we design the education to get the outcomes we as a university and as a state seek for our patients?&rsquo; In other words, there were workforce imperatives,&rdquo; Hirsh added.<\/p>\n<p>The <abbr>UH<\/abbr> medical school&#8217;s clerkship program was launched about 25 years ago after noting the need to train its future physicians in communities where doctors were most needed. The school also wanted to nurture future physicians from cultural and ethnic groups not adequately represented by the healthcare workforce.<\/p>\n<p>At <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>, medical students choosing the longitudinal program spend five months in a single place, learning from volunteer faculty physicians. The course is offered as an alternative track option for third-year medical students.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The longer-term training in those communities allows the medical students to get intensive one-on-one mentoring from the physician they are paired with,&rdquo; said <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.jabsom.hawaii.edu\/FamilyMedicine\/minamif.htm\"><strong>Jill Omori<\/strong><\/a>, <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr> director of medical education. &ldquo;The students also get to witness the continuity of care, which is an important concept in healthcare today.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>At <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr>, medical students are paired with preceptors at medical offices, clinics or hospitals on <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span>, <span aria-label=\"Hawai\u02bbi\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island, Maui and <span aria-label=\"Kaua\u02bbi\">Kaua&#699;i<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/jabsom.hawaii.edu\/harvard-university-of-hawai%ca%bbi-medical-school-paved-the-way-for-our-longer-length-clinical-training-program\/\">full story on the <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr> website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;By Tina Shelton<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_77836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77836\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/manoa-jabsom-clerkships.jpg\" alt=\"Five people smiling\" width=\"676\" height=\"381\" class=\"size-full wp-image-77836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/manoa-jabsom-clerkships.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/manoa-jabsom-clerkships-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-77836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nash Witten, <abbr>JABSOM<\/abbr> alumnus (back, left) during his clerkship at North <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Community Hospital.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medical students choosing the longitudinal program spend five months in a single place, learning from volunteer faculty physicians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[165,31,911,9,56],"class_list":["post-77804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-health","tag-john-a-burns-school-of-medicine","tag-program-recognition","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\/77804","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=77804"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113701,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77804\/revisions\/113701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
