Why I joined PMAH: I am a recent addition to the PMAH. I joined because I wanted to help develop a mentorship program for filipinos in Hawaii. Whether they are premed, medical students, residents or new attendings, I feel that they can benefit from experience, wisdom and knowledge of those who came before them. I think through this we can help to make our Filipino community stronger.⁣

Why you joined PMAH: I had grown up in PMAH, and I still enjoy friendships with adults now that we made as kids of PMAH members. I wanted to move the organization back towards that feeling of family, and make a tighter knit networking base for younger physicians and peers. I also felt we needed to move towards higher community visibility, influence and involvement. I felt in my heart that I could help the organization transition into an even broader reaching entity in our islands, and one that would better serve our community population as well as our future doctors.
