About This Program

The primary mission of this program is to train a diverse group of future OB/GYN physicians in an inclusive environment who advance women's healthcare on all the islands in the state of Hawai'i and the Pacific. While graduates should be competent to practice as a generalist-specialist, their training should provide them the opportunity to pursue a specialty fellowship if they choose.
