News Video
While working with the Office of Public Relations and Communications at the University of Hawaiʻi John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), I contributed to video stories covering medical education, community programs, events, and JABSOM’s health initiatives.
UH OB-GYN Residency Program Expands to Hilo
This news feature documents the expansion of JABSOM’s Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health residency training to Hilo. The initiative brought additional medical training opportunities to Hawaiʻi Island while supporting efforts to strengthen access to women’s health care in East Hawaiʻi.
UH OBG-GYN Residency Program expands to Hilo
The University of Hawaiʻi medical school has deployed its first full-time compensated faculty member to Hilo, Hawaiʻi. This spring, Dr. Kareem Khozaim became the first Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health (OB-GYN) physician in Hilo employed by University Health Partners, or UHP, the JABSOM faculty practice plan. Next year, in collaboration with the Hilo Bay Clinic and Hilo Medical Center, Khozaim and volunteer clinical faculty already teaching on Hawai’i Island will begin training OB-GYN physicians in their third year of MD Residency. The hope is that the MDs, in their last stages of preparation for licensure and board certification, will consider opening their own practices in East Hawai’i, where their services are critically needed, when their training is completed.

Hawaiʻi School for the Deaf and the Blind Visits JABSOM
Students from the Hawaiʻi School for the Deaf and the Blind visited JABSOM for an interactive introduction to medicine. Through hands-on activities, students practiced CPR, checked reflexes and blood pressure, explored simulated patient care, and learned about careers and experiences in health care.
The Hawaii School for the Deaf and Blind (HSDB) visit JABSOM
Students from the Hawaiʻi School for the Deaf and the Blind (HSDB) were transformed into medical students for an exciting morning in January at the University of Hawai’i John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). HSDB students learned how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), check reflexes, and read blood pressure. They even had the opportunity to practice their new clinical techniques on SimTiki “patients” in a simulated emergency situation. Each student acted as both a patient and doctor in a clinical skills roleplaying activity held in the Center for Clinical Skills (CCS) exam rooms. The activities ended with a tour of the JABSOM campus and a discussion with two guest speakers. Students gathered in the auditorium to chat with Deborah Gabe and Gavan Abe of Hoʻopono Services, a government organization that provides services to blind and visually impaired residents of Hawaiʻi.
