N L Judd et al. Pac Health Dialog. 2001 Sep.

Abstract

Imi Ho'ola has been a successful model for training underrepresented minorities and disadvantaged individuals in medicine at the University of Hawai'i. This program has 28 years of experience assisting students to prepare for, qualify for, and complete the M.D. program, thereby producing medical doctors and other health professionals for Hawai'i, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Associated Pacific Islands (USAPI), and the continental U.S. Recently, Imi Ho'ola has expanded its outreach efforts to create an educational pathway for local high school and college students encouraging them to pursue higher education and health careers. A description of the Imi Ho'ola is presented with emphasis on its post-baccalaureate curriculum begun in 1995.
