About
Kauai Family Medicine Residency at Hawaii Residency Programs: HRP administers 17 ACGME‑accredited residency/fellowship programs in Hawaiʻi, primarily on Oʻahu with some neighbor island clinical rotations. The organization, founded in 1982 and based in Honolulu, operates as a nonprofit with programs spanning family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, orthopaedics, pathology, and more. While HRP’s core offices are in Oʻahu, it partners with Hawaiʻi health facilities to offer clinical experiences, including rotation opportunities that may extend to Kauaʻi. If you’re specifically seeking a Kauaʻi-based family medicine residency under HRP, the site emphasizes Oʻahu programs with neighbor island rotations rather than a dedicated Kauaʻi residency. For current availability, contact HRP directly at 808-586-2890 or visit hawaiiresidency.org.
