- Why I picked OHSU: Something clicked for me here on the day I interviewed here. I admired the faculty, connected with the residents, and just loved the entire interview day. The program has a busy, high-acuity emergency department, great mentorship from faculty whom I look up to, a tight-knit group of amazing residents, and gets us out to surrounding hospitals for outstanding community experiences. It was also a great place to bring my family to.
