About our programs
The Department of Surgery prides itself on its comprehensive residency and fellowship training programs, emphasizing academic excellence and utilizing a team approach in educating future surgeons.
We are dedicated to assisting residents and fellows in achieving their diverse career goals, whether it be practicing general surgery in a rural area or attaining a faculty position in an urban academic medical center.
We are committed to teaching an innovative curriculum that not only fosters technical skill but a strong foundation of knowledge. Our state-of-the-art surgical simulation center, VirtuOHSU, opened in September 2014 with the highly versatile space supporting open, laparoscopic, endoscopic and microscopic technical skills training using task trainers, virtual reality, and synthetic, animal, or cadaveric tissues.
Resident and fellow involvement in research is also encouraged within each division, producing many published articles and presentations at local, regional, and national conferences each year.
We offer a collegial learning environment with full support from the OHSU Office of Graduate Medical Education, whose services include a Resident and Fellow Wellness Center with free, confidential counseling and coaching services provided on site. Our Program Directors and Program Coordinators maintain an open-door policy, as does our Department Chair. We desire that our residents and fellows are well-rounded individuals who are successful in preserving a healthy work-life balance.
