Residency program - about Portland
Portland and Oregon
The OHSU campus sits high on a hilltop overlooking the city of Portland. From its windows you can see downtown Portland with the Willamette River winding through the city. With a population of just under a million and a half, the Portland metropolitan area is a city full of culture and commerce: museums and galleries, a thriving theater and music community, an excellent mass transit system, a NBA basketball team, and a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Portland contains 7,500 acres of parkland in 160 locations, including Forest Park, the largest urban wilderness within any U.S. city.

Opportunities for outdoor recreation abound. Nearby rivers and lakes invite swimming, fishing, sailing and other water sports. Mt. Hood, which is visible from OHSU and has a year-round ski area, is only an hour's drive away. The beautiful Oregon coast can be reached in about 90 minutes. Oregon is famous for its varied terrain of rivers, lakes, desert, national forests and parks.

Oregon's climate ranges from cool in the forests of the Cascade mountains to arid in Eastern Oregon's deserts. Temperatures in Portland average a mild 67 degrees in summer and 42 degrees in winter.
