Graduate Medical Education (GME)


Jerris Hedges, MD, MS, MMM, Dean
GME Mission
To fulfill the intent of the University of Hawaii, John A. Burns School of Medicine to provide outstanding Graduate Medical Education that produces fully trained specialty* and subspecialty physicians and develops environments within hospitals, clinics, and community settings in which quality patient care, health promotion, and academic excellence are sustained, and thereby advance the health and well-being of the people of Hawaiʻi.

*Includes the primary care specialties of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health
Residents’ Code of Conduct
First and foremost, I will conduct myself in a manner that coincides with the Hippocratic Oath in commitment to primum non nocere. I recognize that taking care of patients is an honor and privilege. I will approach all patients with cultural sensitivity toward their backgrounds. I will guide my actions with integrity, accountability, selflessness, and honesty. I will abide by principles of medical ethics-nonmalfeasance, autonomy, confidentiality, beneficence, informed consent, and conflicts of interest. I will strive to provide the absolute best care to my patients by listening, constantly learning, and asking for assistance when needed. I will approach my work with pride and a positive attitude. Finally, I will be an effective member of the health care team; I will treat my supervisors, colleagues, trainees, and support staff respectfully.
