PUSHING RESEARCH
FORWARD
STRAUB MEDICAL CENTER IS TRAINING FUTURE PHYSICIANS
not only how to be great doctors, but to also be strong researchers.
Thanks to a donation to the Straub Bone & Joint Center, students at the
University of Hawai‘i, John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) have
the opportunity to research sports medicine while completing their
medical training. This teaching effort is led by Dr. Justin Young, a Straub
sports medicine physician. “Research is not our main role, but we do it
to help better care for our patients,” Dr. Young said.
Every year, Straub encourages students in the program to submit
research to the American Society for Sports Medicine. Those selected
have the opportunity to present their findings to a national audience at
the American Society for Sports Medicine meeting, and by publishing
the research in professional journals.
This year, two JABSOM students were selected. Donated funds to
Straub’s Bone & Joint Center are helping to pay for their conference
fees, travel and accommodations. One of the students, Leina‘ala Song,
will speak about an innovative way to treat tennis elbow. “This research
experience will help expand my perspective as a physician because it
will provide experience, mentorship, and connections with physicians
and students around the nation with the same passion for sports medi-
cine,” Leina‘ala said.“I am so honored and grateful for this opportunity.”
