The Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship Program (NHHSP) strives to build a culturally aware Native Hawaiian health professional workforce through coaching, mentoring, and networking, who are committed to serving the unique health needs of Native Hawaiians throughout the State of Hawai'i. As of October 2020, 302 scholarships have been awarded to 277 recipients across 12 health disciplines with 90% remaining in Hawai'i. In 2019, NHHSP began re-imagining how to build a vibrant, culturally aware workforce, committed to service, leadership, and improvement of Native Hawaiian health through program expansion. This article describes the transformation of NHHSP to Mauli Ola Mālamalama (MOM), a success-oriented strategy-based Native Hawaiian Health Workforce Development Center of Papa Ola Lōkahi. Researchers conducted a qualitative assessment using surveys and interviews among alumni of the program to understand their experience of being a recipient and its meaning to them. Questions included work experience, challenges, solutions, impact of working in rural communities, mentorship, and legacy. The 5 themes identified by alumni were awareness, passion, inherent culture, reciprocity, and legacy. The overarching theme of the assessment, aloha, is embedded in the passion and desire to serve Native Hawaiian communities. Re-imagining the program from NHHSP to MOM began with examining the core values of suitability, commitment, and leadership. These values were then embedded in all aspects of the program and supports provided to recipients. MOM strives to ensure that recipients are culturally aware as they enter the workforce. This broader vision will help increase the number of Native Hawaiians in health care roles.
夏威夷原住民健康奖学金计划（NHHSP）通过辅导、指导和建立人际网络，努力培养一支具有文化意识的夏威夷原住民医疗保健专业人员队伍，致力于满足夏威夷州整个夏威夷原住民的独特健康需求。截至 2020 年 10 月，该计划已向 12 个健康学科的 277 名受助者颁发了 302 项奖学金，其中 90%的受助者仍在夏威夷。2019 年，NHHSP 开始重新构想如何通过扩大计划来培养一支充满活力、具有文化意识的员工队伍，致力于服务、领导和改善夏威夷原住民的健康。本文描述了 NHHSP 向 Mauli Ola Mālamalama（MOM）的转型，这是一个以 Papa Ola Lōkahi 为导向的成功导向的基于策略的夏威夷原住民医疗保健劳动力发展中心。研究人员对该计划的校友进行了定性评估，使用调查和访谈来了解他们作为受助者的经历及其对他们的意义。问题包括工作经验、挑战、解决方案、在农村社区工作的影响、指导和遗产。校友们确定的 5 个主题是意识、激情、内在文化、互惠和遗产。评估中确定的首要主题是“阿罗哈”，它体现在服务夏威夷原住民社区的热情和渴望中。从 NHHSP 到 MOM 的重新构想始于审视适宜性、承诺和领导力的核心价值观。这些价值观随后被嵌入到计划的所有方面以及为受助者提供的支持中。MOM 努力确保受助者在进入劳动力市场时具有文化意识。这一更广泛的愿景将有助于增加医疗保健领域的夏威夷原住民人数。
