About The Position
Founded in 1921, Straub Benioff Medical Center includes a 159-bed hospital in Honolulu, a network of neighborhood clinics and a visiting specialist program that reaches throughout the state of Hawai'i. With over 200 physicians who are leaders in their fields, Straub provides its patients with diagnoses and treatments for more than 32 different medical specialties, including bone and joint, heart, cancer, endocrinology/diabetes, family medicine, gastroenterology, geriatric medicine, internal medicine, vascular and urology. Straub is home to the Pacific Region's only multidisciplinary burn treatment center. The hospital consistently brings new technologies and innovative medical practices to Hawai'i, such as minimally invasive cardiac surgery and total joint replacement. Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) is a national advanced primary care medical home model that aims to strengthen primary care through regionally-based multi-payer payment reform and care delivery transformation. The use of team-based care features uniquely skilled individuals working together, in new ways, to meet the health care needs of patients in an efficient, comprehensive, and sustainable manner. Successful population management relies on a high-functioning team that shares a firm vision of a healthier patient who is empowered to better manage his or her own health, with the help of Straub's Care Team. These physician-led teams are aware of the patient's medical and social history, and are equipped to attend to patient needs in a variety of ways. Team-based health care is one of the key ways to accomplish shared goals within and across our medical centers to achieve coordinated, high-quality care and reach our mission to create a healthier Hawai'i. As a Student Trainee, you will have an opportunity to join our Primary Care team, outreaching to vulnerable patients to schedule follow up appointments, preventative health screening, or reminders to complete lab work, radiology tests, or specialty referrals. Depending on assignment and hours, interns may also receive training to assist in clinical aspects of care such as conducting health-screening questionnaires or collecting vital signs when patients come for appointments. We are looking for someone with excellent communication and customer service skills and a commitment to delivering the highest quality health care to Hawai'i's people.
