The success and reputation of Hawaii Medical Institute depends on the success of our graduates.

Our goal is to help every student get a better job with better pay and started in a career in the medical field. Towards that end, we have established several outstanding job placement services.

These services include workshops on developing a career portfolio, resume writing, job interview techniques and job search skills. Since each student has different interests, abilities, and goals, students receive individual job placement counseling and career guidance.

We also will assist any student in securing part time employment while she/he is enrolled.

Best of all, these job placement services are available as a lifetime benefit!

INTERNSHIPS/EXTERNSHIPS

Hawaii Medical Institute’s internships and externships provide our students an opportunity to have on-the-job training while earning course credit. What is learned in the classroom is applied on the job. Students are able to work in their chosen career field.

Internships and externships generally begin during the student’s second quarter of study and end upon completion of their program. In many cases, students are hired directly from their internship/externship.

This is an important part of each student’s job training preparation. Students are “coached” throughout their internship/externship by the Job Placement staff to prepare them for full-time work.

Students may select an internship/externship at a site of their own choosing or may select a site that the college offers. Some of the sites are listed below:

• Straub Clinic and Hospital
• Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children
• Kapiolani Medical Center at Pali Momi
