In this time of COVID-19 precautions and adjustments, the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) has made a priority of continuing with its mission to produce physicians ready to serve Hawaii and the world. A medical student’s first white coat is an important step on the way to becoming a doctor. This is referred to as a “cloak of compassion,” and is part of a ritual that impresses upon them the primacy of the doctor-patient relationship, to be excellent in science, compassionate, and lead lives of uprightness and honor. They are reminded that as doctors they should care as well as cure. Their new coats will feature an embroidered emblem of the JABSOM logo that was commissioned by the Alumni Association for the School’s 25th anniversary. At the ceremony’s closing, the class members and the physicians present will recite a modified version of the Hippocratic Oath. Vera Ong was one of the “white coat” recipients.
Logo’s Bookstore is the only store in Hawaii that sells the new released book by Brian Yamashita entitled “Faith, Hanging by a Thread” at a sale price of $9.97. And the well-known “Today’s Thoughts” by Rev. Paul Osumi, can also be found at Logo’s for $17.95 regular price but is on sale at 40% off. With the current Covid-19 mandate, their hours are Mon to Thurs, Sat from 9:30am to 3pm, and Fri open from 9:30am to 6pm.
