The HPU Program hybrid program was built to ensure that the mission to serve Hawai’i means that we serve all islands and allow students to stay on their home island with low residency requirements during the didactic year in Honolulu. Once a semester students come to campus for two week lab immersions. Immersions are a time when knowledge becomes muscle memory, clinical technical skills are fine tuned and classmates bond.
To the incredible Class of 2027, your focus, resilience, hard work, and support for one another during our last immersion did not go unnoticed. You showed up ready to work and we are so proud of you and all you accomplished!
To the faculty and staff, mahalo piha for pouring your time, expertise and energy into making the lab immersions meaningful and impactful! None of this happens without you!
Proud feels way too small a word for how I feel about this magnificent program, students, and the faculty/staff team! It is truly living the dream to bring this program to serve our beautiful and unique community ‘ohana.
Aloha, Dr. Conlon, proud Porgram Director 💙
