Special Features
We are a remote residency seeking applicants with ties to Hawaii and/or a specific interest in practicing in rural Hawaii. Clinical exposure in this community is broad, and includes true cradle to grave care with medically complex, high acuity patients. Resident opportunities include OB care, procedures, addiction medicine, and social determinants of health. The medical community here is tight-knit; residents work very closely with attendings in all specialties.
