Fellows and Faculty - Forensic Fellowship

Fellow Testimonials

The OHSU Forensic Fellowship is designed to set up its trainees for success in their professional careers, whatever their interests may be. The wonderful faculty and curriculum have supported me while I've grown more into myself as a psychiatrist and provided me with excellent education and training in forensic psychiatry. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in a diverse and well-rounded forensic training experience. Thank you for the most fun year of training! - Jen Darnell, DO (2025-26)
