Supplemental question

Starting with our graduating class of 2016, the OHSU Family Medicine Residency transitioned to a 4-year, fully integrated family medicine program as a part of the Length of Training Pilot. The pilot is part of a national discussion on the redesign of family medicine education with attention to curriculum design, practice location, and length of training. Nearly a decade into the current structure, we believe that our 4-year curriculum is the optimal training environment to prepare family medicine leaders who are equipped to practice the full spectrum of family medicine in any setting they enter. With this in mind, why are you interested in our 4-year residency program and how does it fit into your future plans?
