KIA Member News
A presentation was made at the KIA Generation Membership Meeting (30th Anniversary Event) by KIA member Servco Pacific Inc. last August. They are now excited to announce that, Hui Car Share will be launching in Honolulu this summer. Kakaako residents and businesses can enjoy all the benefits of driving a car without the cost or burden of owning one. Hui Car Share is powered by Toyota Connected and Servco Pacific. Vehicles will be affordable and easily accessible throughout Kakaako and the surrounding area for short-term usage providing another sustainable transportation option. A member of the Hui team will be at April's KIA networking event to share more information about Hui.
KIA is pleased to share the new data showing how the UH John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) ranks in education:
- In the top 25% of all accredited schools for the percentage of its graduates who are practicing medicine here in Hawaiʻi
- In the top 10% of all accredited schools whose graduates are now practicing in primary care medicine (front-line treatment of patients)
- In the top 25% of all accredited schools whose graduates currently in residency training plan to practice in Family Medicine
- Is the leader among all accredited schools for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander graduates
- In the top 10% among all accredited schools for its proportion of women faculty members
- In the top 25% of all accredited schools for basic science instruction with clinical relevance, student satisfaction and metrics related to diversity, cultural awareness and health disparities
“Both the number of students who choose primary care specialties and the number who remain or return to treat patients in Hawaiʻi after completing their training are critical to stemming the growing shortage of physicians in our state,” said Dr. Jerris Hedges, JABSOM Dean.
