OHSU FAMILY MEDICINE
Development and Fundraising
 The Robert B. Taylor, M.D. Society Many of the Department's achievements have been made possible by private contributions. To encourage broad-based support, we have created the Robert B. Taylor, M.D. Society to recognize donors who make a generous, ongoing commitment to our continued success. The Society honors the Department's second chairman, who was instrumental in expanding our mission. Gifts from the Taylor Society members play a critical role in ensuring that existing initiatives and significant new ones can succeed:
 Clerkship and Observership programs that give medical students clinical experience in the community practices of family physicians
Expansion of our rural programs to encourage graduates to enter small town and rural practice
Exploration of key research questions through department fellowships
Development of continuing education programs to help family physicians sharpen their skills and acquire new ones
As the Department continues to reach for ambitious goals, significant annual gifts will be crucial. Your membership in the Robert B. Taylor, M.D. Society will give you the satisfaction of helping to meet these pressing needs by contributing directly to the work of our faculty; to our residents, students and fellows; and to our many innovative programs.
