- [Narrator] This is OHSU shaped by leaders, pioneers,
and those brave enough to take that first step.
We carry the torch and shine a light on what is possible.
We are a collaboration disciplines listening
to one another, learning from each other.
The OHSU family medicine residency program
is more than an opportunity to gain experience.
It's your time to serve with a community
of trailblazers and groundbreakers.
(upbeat music)
- For residents who come through our program,
our goal is that a resident will be able to enter
into any practice environment.
Not only be successful as a clinician,
but will be a health system's leader.
Over 50% of our residents are delivering babies.
We know that over 50% of our residents go on
to do care in underserved areas, both rural and urban.
- I think that people that are gonna be successful
in our program are motivated by a desire
to really change the world.
And so if you as an applicant,
don't know exactly what that looks like, that's fine,
but we do think that it's important that you have
a desire to do a little bit more than,
than just see patients in the clinical setting
that maybe you are interested in helping advance
the way that patients are cared for,
by pushing the margins a little bit,
or by advocating for a population in need.
- When I found Oregon Health and Sciences University,
I felt like they had a really rigorous training program
where you got to do inpatient, outpatient,
lots of maternity care and women's health procedures
which I was particularly passionate about.
And so I felt like the four-year program really allowed me
to experience a full spectrum of family medicine training,
but then also a lot of opportunity to explore things I'm
more passionate and interested in.
And so they've, they really allow you
to pursue areas of interests.
- We imagine that by the time a resident enters
their third and fourth year,
they do have a sense of what they want to do
and where they wanna go.
And so we allow for some modifiable time
for the resident to really take their schedule
and make it work in a way that compliments their education
and really kind of leads to a tailored education for them.
- The fact that we are at OHSU,
it's a very large institution.
Pretty much if you have an interest,
there's probably a faculty member who could put you
in the right direction of something you're interested in.
And so if you have an interest and a passion for it,
you'll be able to find an avenue to pursue that
and I think that's one of the great things
about our program is that it's pretty flexible.
- Because our graduates and our residents come in
with so many interests and skills and passions,
a lot of our job is really to get out of the way of them.
Because they have a drive
and an inherent ability to succeed.
So it takes a lot of effort from our standpoint
to help residents find resources,
to have an individualized education program
that really meets their needs.
And that's what I seek to do is to really ensure
that our program is a fertile ground for every graduate.
- You know, our residents when they enter into practice,
don't settle for the status quo.
They push the boundaries of what can be done
and what they base that on is the strong foundation
that they leave OHSU with.
They use the skills that they've gained here and are able
to take that to the places that they're gonna go.
They become leaders because they're able to negotiate
the kind of care that they know is right
for the communities that they serve.
- They think it's people that want to see the world change,
that aren't happy with the status quo that would find this
to be a really enjoyable and good program for them.

- [Narrator] At some point,
it's about the why you do what you do,
as much as that how we do it,
because we do it because we're bold.
We do it because someone needs to make the difference,
and we know we can make the difference
because we already have.
We welcome the curious, inspired,
and those willing to be bold.
What is the difference you wanna make?
This is OHSU.
