University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine <\/a>(JABSOM<\/abbr>) physician-scientist Dominic Chow has been selected for the 2026 Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Forum at the National Academy of Medicine.<\/p>\n

The invitation-only program brings together emerging leaders in health care, research and policy from across the country.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a real honor,” Chow said. “To be able to interact with members of the National Academy of Medicine and contribute to discussions that help guide health policy is something I don\u2019t take lightly.”<\/p>\n

Chow\u2019s career spans global public health, including training at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and work in Guyana, where he helped lead a yellow fever outbreak investigation.<\/p>\n

At JABSOM<\/abbr>, he has advanced HIV<\/abbr> research through the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Center for AIDS<\/abbr> and serves as program director of Ola HAWAII, an NIH<\/abbr>-funded initiative expanding clinical research access in underserved communities and supporting studies including Long COVID<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

“I think bringing clinical trials to various populations across Hawaiʻi<\/span> helps create more equity,” Chow said.<\/p>\n

The forum connects participants to address major health challenges and inform national policy. Chow said he hopes to ensure Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s health needs are represented.<\/p>\n

“We have a responsibility to address health disparities here in Hawaiʻi<\/span> and beyond,” he said.<\/p>\n
