JABSOM`s mission is to teach and train high quality physicians, biomedical students, and allied health professionals for Hawai`i and the Pacific, and to conduct both clinical and basic research in areas of specific interest to our community and region. JABSOM is the most culturally and ethnically diverse medical school in the country and its student body mirrors the rich diversity of the state`s population.
The MD Program is comprised of five curricular units in the first two years. There are also opportunities for electives in Units 2-5, Primary Care and Community Medicine experiences, and Board Review elective for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1. Clinical clerkships take in the third and fourth years, but there is less of a division between the preclinical and clinical parts of the MD Program than in more traditional schools. Patient contact and clinical skills development start in Unit 1 and increase throughout the program. The scientific background for understanding patients` problems, while more intensely studied in earlier units, continues into the third and fourth year programs as it is relevant to the care of any patient in any clinical situation.

Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
