A message from the Program Director
It is my privilege and honor to be the Program Director for the University of 喵喵直播 Primary Care (鈥淯HPC鈥) Internal Medicine Residency Program. Providing a distinct residency program specializing in primary care and ambulatory medicine enables accepted residents to participate in a unique learning experience that will provide an exceptional foundation in ambulatory medicine and general internal medicine, and provide the necessary skills to meet 喵喵直播鈥檚 unique healthcare needs.
Becoming a primary care physician is one of the most special honors that can be bestowed upon a doctor, and I am proud that this program acknowledges this fact and endeavors to train residents to not only become leaders in patient centered care, but also helps to mold compassionate, patient advocates into primary care physician champions of the future.
Dr. James Yess
Program Director
University of 喵喵直播 Primary Care Internal Medicine Residency Program (UHPC) is a NEW and DISTINCT Internal Medicine Program. Having its origins as a 鈥渢rack鈥 embedded within the University of 喵喵直播鈥檚 categorical Internal Medicine program, UHPC will now be a 鈥渟tand-alone鈥 program with the added flexibility and resources to truly enhance and embrace the Primary Care educational experience.
UHPC will be accepting applicants for the Fall 2023 application season, and participating in the National Resident Matching Program (鈥淭he Match鈥) and ERAS.
The mission of the University of Hawai鈥榠 Primary Care Internal Medicine Residency Program is to train culturally humble physicians equipped to provide high-quality and equitable primary care to a diverse patient population. Graduates from the program will be prepared with the knowledge, skill set, and experience to provide primary care in various models of practice to improve the well-being of the people of Hawai鈥檌.
UHPC is dedicated to training physicians who treat the whole patient. Through clinical rotation design, didactic curriculum development, and the behaviors that our faculty strive to embody, UHPC espouses a biopsychosocial model of patient care, which acknowledges the intersection of the physical, mental, and social factors that play into every experience of health or disease.
We strive to learn from and embody the Native 喵喵直播an health model of the Lokahi Triangle.1 This symbol has two simultaneous representations. Within the individual, the Triangle represents balance between physical, mental, and spiritual health. On the broader scale, it asserts the interconnectedness of land (‘Aina), people and community (Kanaka), and the greater powers (N膩 Aum膩kua).
These concepts permeate how we care for our patients as well as our residents.
Core Faculty & Staff
The University of Hawai鈥檌 Department of Psychiatry is made up of a diverse team of faculty physicians with various backgrounds, training and experience who educate the residents and fellows in both the traditional didactic setting and the clinical learning environment while providing quality psychiatric care to the people of Hawai鈥檌.
