The 'Imi Ho'ōla Post-Baccalaureate Program is a proven pathway to medicine that has significantly increased the number of underrepresented and disadvantaged students that complete medical school in Hawai'i. A recent program evaluation indicated a relationship between student success and the significance of attitude and purpose from the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory. Curricular innovations in a 5-week introductory course during Phase 1, lay the foundation to promote a healthy attitude with purpose-led activities, such as personalized journal vision covers, weekly journal reflections, a multimedia autobiography, and projects focusing on medical specialties, well-being, and resiliency. Such purposeful innovations are vital for the success of underrepresented students, with the ultimate intent to diversify the physician workforce and to increase the number of physicians serving in underrepresented and underserved communities in Hawai'i and throughout the Pacific.
“Imi Ho’ōla 学士后项目”是一条已经被证实的通向医学的道路，它显著增加了夏威夷完成医学院学业的代表性不足和处于不利地位的学生的数量。最近的一项项目评估表明，学习和研究策略清单中的态度和目标的重要性与学生的成功之间存在关系。在第一阶段为期 5 周的入门课程中进行课程创新，为促进有目的的健康态度奠定基础，开展有个性化日记封面、每周日记反思、多媒体自传以及专注于医学专业、健康和适应力的项目等活动。这种有目的的创新对于代表性不足的学生的成功至关重要，最终目的是使医生队伍多样化，并增加在夏威夷和整个太平洋地区服务于代表性不足和服务不足社区的医生人数。
