Donation Accounts

The department has a number of accounts in the OHSU Foundation which support specific activities in the department.  These include the following:

The Family Medicine Advancement Fund is designed to strengthen family medicine in Oregon. The Family Medicine Advancement Fund pays for student and resident travel to national meetings of the American Academy of Family Physicians, provides seed money for fundable projects, and helps support our volunteer faculty enrichment programs.

 
The Anita D. Taylor, MA Ed Travel Fund pays for medical student travel to the National Conference of Family Practice residents and medical students in Kansas City, Missouri.
