The mission of the University of Hawai`i Pediatric Residency Program (UHPRP), a three-year program designed to prepare physicians for a career in Primary Care Pediatrics, is to educate and train pediatricians who will lead the community in caring and advocating for the children of Hawai`i and the Pacific Basin. UHPRP is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).  The program is also committed to the promotion of an environment that nurtures fulfillment and quality research opportunities. Distinctive features of the program include a broad spectrum of pediatric pathology and cross-cultural experiences afforded by the multicultural population of Hawai`i, the close involvement of subspecialty and general pediatric faculty in the day to day training of residents and the emphasis on continuity of care.

The program is based at the Kapi`olani Medical Center for Women and Children (KMCWC), a maternal-child academic complex serving Hawai`i and the Pacific Basin. The administrative and faculty offices for the JABSOM Department of Pediatrics, as well as classrooms, are located in the KMCWC Tower Complex.

Four other hospitals -- Queen's Medical Center, Shriners Hospital for Children, and Tripler Army Medical Center -- participate in the training program. Additionally, there are a number of outreach clinics and sites which provide important components of the training program including Queen Emma Clinics, Kokua Kalihi Valley Health Center, Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility and Straub Clinic and Hospital.
