GME-to-Faculty Diversity Advancement Pathway

This is a new program of the School of Medicine's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The GME-to-Faculty Diversity Advancement Pathway is focused on recruiting and retaining our promising residency and fellowship graduates as junior faculty at OHSU. This is a program of the School of Medicine’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Dean’s Office.

The program will bring together diverse residents and fellows who are interested in academic careers and support their career exploration process. They will apply for a faculty position and be appointed via the usual process. After faculty appointment and upon acceptance into this program, the faculty will participate in a faculty advancement program focusing on academic success skills, leadership development, and structured mentorship. Faculty will meet once weekly to create a community of belonging that will ultimately form the basis for peer and vertical support and community formation.

Wy'East Post-Baccalaureate Pathway

Wy’east is the traditional Multnomah name for Mount Hood, a prominent feature of the Columbia River region. The Wy’east Post-Baccalaureate Pathway is a cornerstone of the Center to develop AI/AN physicians. Wy’East Post-Baccalaureate Pathway prepares American Indian and Alaska Native students to excel as medical students and physicians.

There are three major components to the pathway:

• Academic preparation for medical school
• Professional training for the rigor of medical school
• Culturally-relevant experiential learning

Second Look programs

School of Medicine “Second Look” programs invite URM recruits to OHSU to visit our campus before making a final decision about where to train or go to school. Candidates meet leaders and peers and learn more about our clinical education and GME (residency) programs. Our residency programs are a significant pipeline for faculty recruitment at OHSU, making the Second Look programs part of a “grow your own” approach. More about GME second look efforts.
