Programa M.D.

The OHSU School of Medicine prepares more than 2,200 students and trainees for dynamic health care and biomedical research environment to advance health for all and serve where needed from urban to rural settings in Oregon and beyond. In turn, our learners join in advancing academic medicine with their advocacy for a diverse, inclusive, and respectful climate that promotes the cultural humility and responsiveness necessary to ensure better outcomes for all patients and communities.

The school's M.D. program - Undergraduate Medical Education - has transformed to meet head-on the demands of the 21st century and, partnering with students, we continue to evolve. Our goal is to graduate physicians with demonstrated skills in lifelong learning and improvement who can adapt to change and see the possibilities as technology expands; doctors who listen, innovate, and lead.

OHSU's singular focus on improving health starts with Oregonians and has a global impact. We are the only academic health center in Oregon, but we're also nationally distinct as a university dedicated solely to advancing health sciences. This allows us to concentrate resources on research to prevent and cure disease, on education that prepares physicians, dentists, nurses, and other health professionals to succeed in an evolving health care environment, and on patient care that incorporates the latest knowledge and discoveries.

Based in Portland, we have 17,532 employees, operate the top-ranked adult and children's hospitals in Oregon, and secure competitive research funding of more than $450 million a year. As a public organization, we provide community outreach and services for Oregon's most vulnerable populations.
