By Tina Shelton, UH JABSOM Communications Director New MDs “match” into Residency Programs every March, in a process governed by the National Medical Resident Matching Program. Our Hawaiʻi programs attract both Hawaiʻi medical school graduates and physicians who graduated from other accredited American medical colleges. Experienced MDs seeking even further specialization beyond Residency may, after completing residency, enter what are called Fellowships. Both sets of learners begin a new academic training year every July 1, working on the wards of hospitals in Hawaiʻi, side-by-side with JABSOM clinical faculty who supervise their every move. The training is done in partnership with the University of Hawaiʻi and its academic medical center partners represented by the Hawaiʻi Residency Programs, Inc. Trainees of the new academic year join other Residents and Fellows who are already in their second years or beyond of Graduate Medical Education.
