Abstract: The Hawaii-Okinawa Medical Education Fellowship is a longitudinal FD program developed and administered by the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii and Okinawa Prefecture to train young clinical teachers who will play a central role in residency education. The program also supports the building of networks among clinical teachers. Each year, around six participants learn the skills required of clinical teachers through monthly seminar participation and a year-round curriculum development project. To date, about 60 physicians have completed the fellowship, and many of them are active as clinical teachers at medical institutions in Okinawa. The community of practice consisting of the graduates of this fellowship is gradually expanding. It is expected to contribute more and more to the enhancement of clinical education in Okinawa.
