The University of Hawaii Pediatric Residency Program is a three-year, fully-accredited program designed to educate and train pediatricians who will care and advocate for children all over the world. Distinctive features of our close-knit program include managing a broad spectrum of pediatric conditions and cross-cultural experiences afforded by the multicultural population of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. The close involvement of subspecialty and general pediatric faculty in the daily training of residents provides a nurturing clinical learning environment emphasizing continuity of care, quality of care, and scholarly activities. Our residents become excellent general pediatricians or continue to pursue fellowships of their choice.
The program is based at the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children (KMCWC), the only dedicated pediatric and maternal hospital affiliated with the University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine. The hospital serves Hawai`i and the Pacific Basin and contains both faculty and administrative offices.
