9. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Tight-Knit Fellowship Family

No one disappears here. Fellows form genuine bonds—with each other and faculty. Your cohort becomes your crew, your support system. We function as a 3 hospital system without the geographic challenges since our VA is separated by a skybridge

OHSU is nationally recognized for its work in social justice, health equity, and community outreach. You’ll train in a place that walks the walk—not just talks the talk.
