SHEP Partnership with Pfizer
The University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) has a unique partnership with Pfizer, furthering health education of Hawaii high school students through medical student community service. Faculty train medical students on curriculum development, ensuring they develop interactive instructional methods for a diverse high school population, including those with low literacy.
Dr. Gwen Naguwa, SHEP Director instructs medical students, then supervises
their health education presentations at Hawaii high schools.
Medical students Cassie Lee and Misha Kassel lead a discussion on
nutrition, exercise and body image. Both used simple terms and
pictures to clarify concepts of metabolism ensuring those with low literacy
comprehend the lesson.
