What do you like most?
The access to faculty is amazing. Our small group leaders range from deans of the university to chiefs of medicine and surgery. World-class surgeons volunteer their time to aid with anatomy lab, and lecturers are truly wonderful lecturers and experts in their fields.
I also love how much focus OHSU places on training students to be good clinicians - good bedside manner and patient service are vital here.
What do you like least?
In some ways, the school lacks support from the administration. Students are responsible for personally handling more of their scheduling, international/rotation planning, and boards prep than at many other institutions.

Any other information you want to share?
I couldn't ask for a better city to have as a backdrop for medical school. We have access to beaches, mountains, rural life, and city life all in a small radius.
Success!
