Graduate medical education is one of the central missions of Oregon Health & Science University. Graduate training programs are offered in virtually all fields of medicine, as well as oral/maxillofacial surgery.
We are proud of all our programs. Our graduate programs in primary care, family medicine and rural medicine are ranked among the best in the nation. About 52 percent of our residents and fellows remain in Oregon to practice, making OHSU 10th in the nation in terms of retention.
OHSU and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center are the major clinical teaching facilities of OHSU for medical education. The patient care and teaching programs at the University and the Portland VAMC are under the direction and supervision of OHSU faculty. House staff participate in the care of patients in these hospitals and gain additional experience in community hospitals, which have affiliated teaching programs under the direction of the OHSU School of Medicine.

Continuing Medical Education
Lifelong learning is essential to maintain a qualified, up-to-date physician workforce. The courses offered by the OHSU School of Medicine Division of Continuing Medical Education reach about 15,000 health care professionals each year. No other Oregon entity provides this type of learning experience for physicians. The Division is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide this continuing medical education for physicians. For information about upcoming conferences and other CME opportunities, visit the CME website.
