JABSOM Diversity Initiatives
Coordinating Committee on Opportunity, Diversity, and Equity (C-CODE)
The JABSOM Coordinating Committee on Opportunity, Diversity, and Equity (C-CODE) was established in December 2020 and is chaired by Dr. Lee Buenconsejo-Lum and Dr. Winona K. Lee. C-CODE represents an institution-wide perspective (i.e. representation of clinical and basic research departments, units, and programs) that will enhance the implementation and coordination of JABSOM ODE curricula and initiatives by leveraging resources and providing recommendations to JABSOM leadership.
ʻApu Kaulike Task Force
Dr. Naleen Andrade and Dr. Winona K. Lee lead the ʻApu Kaulike Task Force which engages JABSOM and community leaders who are working together to create a comprehensive plan to increase the representation of Native Hawaiian medical students at JABSOM. ʻApu Kaulike is also creating a strategic plan to support JABSOM's capacity to effectively serve indigenous students, faculty, and staff.
JABSOM Institutional Diversity Statement
The John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) embraces diversity and inclusion as part of our shared Hawaiian, Asian and Pacific values. These shared values are responsive to our unique location in the center of the Pacific. We uphold that an environment of inclusiveness, equal opportunity and respect for the similarities and differences in our communities advances our mission of education, research and innovation, community service and clinical healing. JABSOM is committed to preparing a culturally competent health and science workforce that meets the needs of Hawaiʻi. We strive to reflect the demographics of Hawaiʻi, including representation of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, individuals from rural areas of Hawaiʻi, first generation college students and those from economically, socially, and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. JABSOM is cultivating a transformative teaching and learning environment that promotes the recruitment and retention of students, faculty, and staff, who are representative of the diverse population of Hawaiʻi.
