September is Hawaiian History Month and JABSOM is involved!
On September 27, our school is hosting Hoʻōla: History of Hawaiian Health "Hawaiian Scholars Abroad."
New author and graduate student Hoʻoleia Kaʻeo will share the story of Dr. Matthew Makalua, sent to England by King Kalākaua to study medicine, and her journey learning about him and other Hawaiians abroad.
Brandi Nālani Balutski will share about her program Hawaiian Youths Abroad at UH Mānoa, which enables students to retrace the steps of kānaka maoli who traveled before them.

If you have questions, please contact Dr. Martina Kamaka.
