The Medical Student Mentorship Program (MSMP)
MSMP is a student-run organization that pairs current medical students at JABSOM with undergraduate students across the State of Hawaiʻi interested in pursuing a career in medicine. Through these pairings, MSMP helps to foster relationships between undergraduates and medical students and faculty. Over the years, they have paired more than 600 aspiring health care professionals with medical student mentors via an extensive matching process. The mentors and their charges contact each other regularly and participate in a variety of activities throughout the year.

The Medical Student Research Interest Group
The Research Interest Group was founded to promote medical student involvement in research at John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). We strive to act a liaison between clinical faculty, researchers, and JABSOM students. To facilitate this process, we have developed a database of researchers that interested students may contact.
