Why OHSU?
Quotes from Current Residents:
"OHSU is the only academic Family Medicine program on the west coast that prides itself on the practice of full scope Family Medicine and provides ample exposure to rural Family Medicine."
"Our program constantly challenges us to be leaders in our field by placing us in settings that may be slightly out of our comfort zone. We face these challenges on a daily basis- being the first call doc in a rural area, having a full clinic schedule, covering phone calls for the clinics, and covering all of our inpatient services on the weekends. Each shift is an opportunity to grow, and we are always well supported by our staff."
"I was attracted to the OHSU program because it offered the best of both worlds - excellent university-based training and exposure to world-class faculty in a variety of departments, combined with incredible rural and community hospital experiences. It felt like the perfect solution to the university vs. community-based program debate!"
“I was impressed with the dynamic nature of the curriculum at OHSU. Residents are involved and listened to here. Changes are constantly happening to make educational experiences as worthwhile as possible.”
“It’s a perfect combination of academics, lots of OB, great diversity of experience (e.g. rural training), excellent folks and a divine city.”
“I picked OHSU because of the vibrant, challenging but well supported environment. The residents are from varied backgrounds and experiences and are inspiring. The faculty are nationally respected and the program is extremely well established within the institution.”
“I felt like I would be prepared for any type of practice setting I choose.”
“I felt that this was a group that I wanted to be a part of – to learn from and with, as well as to socialize with.”
