About Us

Commitment to Education

The Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Residency Program will train pioneering new internal medicine doctors who are interested in becoming part of the future of health care. While traditional programs focus on training in a hospital, our program aims to train doctors who understand that health care is moving from hospitals to ambulatory care settings. The Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Residency Program will facilitate the development of the residents’ professional and personal skills while ensuring that our patients continue to receive safe and appropriate care.

Our residency program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
