Dr. Phoebe Hammer is excited to return to her hometown of Portland, Oregon, as a faculty pathologist at OHSU specializing in women’s health pathology. She received her medical degree from OHSU before completing residency training in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Stanford University, where she served as Chief Resident. She remained at Stanford for fellowship training in Gynecologic Pathology followed by Breast Pathology, and also earned an honors certificate in medical education from Stanford at this time.

Her clinical and research interests include the study of a variety of gynecologic and breast cancers, with special focus on aggressive endometrial and ovarian cancers, as well as rare breast cancers. She is also passionate about medical student and graduate medical education and is particularly interested in teaching patient-centered communication in pathology reports.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family that lives in the Columbia River Gorge and exploring all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. You’ll also find her enjoying the city’s vibrant restaurant scene and live music.
