Company Description

Our students at the John A. Burns School of Medicine are the best and brightest Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands have to offer. More than 1,500 applicants annually compete for 70 slots in the first-year class. We are among the most culturally and ethnically diverse medical school in the world, and our student body mirrors the diversity of Hawai'i’s population.

Our primary mission is to train physicians for Hawai'i and the Pacific, and we are proud that approximately 50% of the practicing physicians in Hawai'i are graduates or faculty members of the John A. Burns School of Medicine or affiliated Hawai’i Residency Program.

We have a faculty of 200 full-time and more than 1,000 volunteers and a teaching relationship with all major community hospitals throughout the main Hawaiian island of O'ahu. We also perform student training on Hawai'i Island or in the offices or clinics of rural volunteer faculty. Our students learn in an innovative, student-centered, problem-based curriculum, (PBL) that emphasizes critical thinking, medical simulation-based experiences and builds life-long learning skills.
