AIDS Specialists Honolulu Near Me

4worldlovers: In 2005, we opened the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the new Kaka‘ako waterfront campus with a revived dedication to biomedical research.

We are successfully building an exciting basic, clinical, and translational research capacity that will benefit from our special location, our multiethnic population, and our growing cadre of nationally recognized scientists. Our laboratories pursue investigations of local concerns, such as vog and jelly fish stings, and are part of the global search for deeper understanding, and better treatments, for the most common and devastating disorders including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, and AIDS. We are training the next generation of researchers in our graduate programs and connecting the international efforts of scientists around the Pacific Rim as well as the globe. Our medical students, residents, and fellows benefit from having cutting-edge science in their curriculum. Our islands provide their own special resources to one of the great endeavors of humanity in this modern age – to understand the biology of human disease and develop strategies to improve human health.


The Center for Cardiovascular Research (CCR) is a focal point for cardiovascular research in Hawaiʻi. The CCR is committed to developing tomorrow’s research leaders and educating the community. The CCR aims to enhance the understanding of cardiovascular biology and develop new treatments for disease. Research conducted by CCR investigators includes investigating heart and blood vessel diseases, developing new therapies, and studying diseases relevant in Hawaiʻi. The CCR also trains new investigators and clinicians, and offers educational opportunities to current high school teachers.


The Clinical Skills Program runs through the first and second years of the curriculum. Medical students spend one-half day each week seeing patients under the supervision of practicing physicians. Students have the opportunity to practice the skills of medical interviewing, physical diagnosis and diagnostic reasoning under the supervision of their faculty. These patient care experiences are supplemented with large group clinical skills laboratories and a number of standardized patient learning experiences. Standardized patients are volunteers recruited from throughout the community who agree to be trained to portray patients with specific medical histories or health problems. These volunteers provide medical students with the unique opportunity to practice and develop their medical interviewing and physical examination skills in a safe and supportive environment. Standardized patients are also used for testing purposes. All JABSOM students must successfully complete a number of multi-station standardized patient examinations as a graduation requirement. This attention to teaching and assessing its medical students’ skills in the art and science of communication and physical diagnosis ensures that JABSOM graduates will be caring, competent and highly-skilled physicians.

The Center for Native and Pacific Health Disparities Research is located in the Department of Native Hawaiian Health (DNHH) at the John A. Burns School of Medicine. The Center is currently in its 12th of 15 years of continuous funding awarded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities to support biomedical and behavioral research on Cardiometabolic Health Disparities in its priority populations of Native Hawaiians, Pacific Peoples, Filipinos and other Pacific-based Native Peoples (Alaska Natives, New Zealand Maori).The overall goals of the Center is to both FOCUS and COLLABORATE. This center aims to fully embrace the community in scientific studies and activities related to Metabolic Syndrome while at the same time collaborating with other Hawaiʻi health disparities research groups.


With funding from the Institutional Development Award Networks of Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR), the Center for Pacific Innovations, Knowledge, and Opportunities (PIKO) was established to foster the development and implementation of innovative and evidence-based clinical and translational projects aimed at improving the health of Indigenous Pacific People, defined as Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and Filipinos and other underserved populations in Hawaiʻi. The PIKO collaborative, which represents a partnership between the University of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiʻi Pacific University, Chaminade University of Honolulu, and a large statewide network of 18 practice-based organizations and other community-based organizations, will develop new and leverage existing resources to ensure real-world impact.
