The Neurosurgery Residency Program is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.  We actively evaluate and improve the recruitment process to be inclusive and welcoming to those underrepresented in medicine and strive to recruit, retain, and support diverse residents and interns. We honor and embrace the unique contributions and perspectives of all residents, faculty, staff, patients, students, volunteers and communities, and believe that diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds contribute to the advancement of our department.

The Department of Neurological Surgery is a safe, respectful and welcoming place for people of all races, cultures, ethnicities, genders, national origins, abilities, ages, colors, religions, and sexual orientations. We are committed to learning, promoting inclusion, and working to abolish inequities in our workplace here at OHSU, in our region, in our nation, and in our world.

Our Neurosurgery Diversity Working Group meets regularly and engages our residents, alongside faculty and staff members, to discuss and share anti-racism and equity resources.
