The Academic Program
Psychiatry (PSTY) is a branch of medicine that derives its theoretical foundations from the neurosciences, as well as the psychological and social sciences. The investigation of the biological basis of mental illness is one of the most exciting areas of medical research today and is revolutionizing our understanding of mind-body relationships.
The Department of Psychiatry contributes to the overall mission of the School of Medicine by providing leadership in psychiatric training, teaching, research, and services in Hawai'i, Asia, and the Pacific Basin. The department is committed to expanding knowledge within a cross-cultural and bio-psycho-social framework.
Traditional courses have been replaced with the problem-based learning curriculum. Psychiatric issues are addressed throughout the curriculum but are particularly emphasized in the second year during the brain and behavior sub-unit of Unit IV and in the third year during the Unit VI Psychiatry Clerkship.

The Academic Program
Speech pathology and audiology (SPA) are interrelated disciplines that deal with disorders of speech-language and/or hearing. Audiology is the study of human hearing and the diagnosis and treatment of hearing-related disorders. Speech-language pathology is the study of human communication and its developed or acquired disorders. Through these two disciplines students have the opportunity to deal with a wide variety of disabilities and disorders affecting people of all ages. Speech pathologists and audiologists treat children and adults in public and private practice in a wide variety of settings. A recent report by the federal government projected the combined fields of audiology and speech pathology as one of the fastest growing of the next decade.
The program for speech pathology and audiology at the University of Hawai'i is recognized nationally for its quality and is accredited in both areas. It is one of the few programs in the United States featuring preparation in a multilingual/multicultural environment.
Accreditation
The Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in Speech Pathology and Audiology.
Advising
Students considering the major may call the Division of Speech Pathology and Audiology to schedule an appointment with an adviser. |
