SB101

Hawaii SB101 requires medical school graduates who benefited from resident tuition to serve as physicians in Hawaii for two years post-residency.

Hawaii SB101 addresses the state's physician shortage by requiring graduates of the John A. Burns School of Medicine who benefited from resident tuition to serve as physicians in Hawaii for two years after completing a residency or fellowship. The bill also allows the dean to exempt individuals from these requirements if there are extenuating circumstances. Graduates who fail to meet these service requirements must reimburse the state for the difference in tuition paid. The university of Hawaii will monitor compliance and enforce payment of any owed amounts.
