Reported by the program

The program describes the following on its official website, reviewed on July 27, 2026.

Setting
A military residency at the largest Army medical facility in the Pacific Basin, with a catchment of more than 400,000 eligible patients across Hawai'i and the wider Pacific. Residents come from the Army, the Air Force, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Curriculum
A military-unique curriculum that adds operational psychiatry to the usual inpatient, veteran inpatient, consultation-liaison, addiction, geriatric, child and adolescent, community, and neurology rotations, on 13 four-week blocks a year with a largely outpatient PGY-3.
Selection
As a military program, it selects residents through the military graduate medical education process rather than the civilian NRMP match.

shrinkiatry context

The Tripler Army Medical Center psychiatry residency is Hawai'i's military training program, and one of only a couple of Army psychiatry residencies in the country. Its residents care for active-duty members, their families, retirees, veterans, and Pacific Island patients, which gives an unusually broad clinical range alongside training specific to military practice, like assessing fitness for duty and communicating with command. Faculty include both military and civilian psychiatrists. It's in Honolulu, at Tripler Army Medical Center.
