Abstrakt:	Hawai'i Island faces a growing shortage of obstetric and gynecology providers. Increased exposure of obstetrics and gynecology residents to rural rotations during their core training may increase their interest in rural practice after graduation. In an effort to address the health care needs of women on Hawai'i Island, the University of Hawai'i Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program established a 4-week required gynecology rotation in the town of Hilo. Between July 2019 and June 2020, third- and fourth-year obstetrics and gynecology residents provided outpatient gynecologic care and participated in gynecologic surgeries at Hilo-based medical facilities. A total of 9 residents participated in this Hilo-based rotation. This retrospective study extracted data from post-rotation evaluations. Eight out of 9 participating residents (89%) felt that the rotation slightly or far exceeded their expectations. After the rotation, 7 residents (78%) reported an interest in practicing in a rural community, while only 3 residents (33%) reported having this interest prior to the rotation. Underserved rural areas seeking to recruit and retain obstetrics and gynecology physicians may benefit from partnering with residency training programs.
