Exceptional surgical residency training

Our residents come from across the country and around the world to train in our three programs. They bring diverse perspectives to a highly collaborative learning environment. 

You’ll join a welcoming culture and learn from nationally recognized faculty as you build your surgical skills and clinical judgment. You’ll also train in Portland, a family-friendly city known for hiking, biking, exceptional food and vibrant cultural events.
