I would sincerely appreciate any info about the general surgery residency at the University of Hawaii.
I've asked the program if I could email or phone a current resident to find out more about the program and they've denied my request. I also asked if I could shadow a resident for a day or two when I'm in Hawaii for vacation this June so that I can get a better feel for the program and they once again said this was not possible due to "patient confidentiality" and "insurance purposes".
So if anybody is a curent med student/resident at the Univ of Hawaii or who knows about the general surgery program, I would appreciate your input. PM me if you wish.
P.S.: How true is it that you have to have some connection with the state of Hawaii to be considered for their residency program??
