The physician shortage is expected to worsen both in Hawai'i and nationally, with primary care remaining the most needed medical specialty. The University of Hawai'i John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) plays a critical role in physician workforce development through its undergraduate (Medical School) and graduate medical education (Residency) programs. This report summarizes the Residency match results of all JABSOM Medical School graduates, their trends over time, and the total number of positions available in the JABSOM Residency programs between 1990 and 2018. Overall, 1652 JABSOM Medical School graduates successfully matched into Residency between 1990-2018. There was a negative trend of JABSOM Medical School graduates matching into all 3 primary care Residency programs during this reporting period. The total number of JABSOM Residency positions decreased during the study period, while there was an increase in the number of primary care JABSOM Residency positions. Alignment of the increasing JABSOM Medical School class size with the available JABSOM Residency positions in Hawai'i will be an important health workforce development strategy going forward.
