How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to a few current OHSU students, read interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

Rural primary care internship, the brand-new children's hospital, surrounded by forests, the happiness of the students, Portland itself.

What impressed you negatively?

It's not quite as robust a medical center as some schools, and it didn't seem like you would see quite the variety of patients.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

OHSU is a pretty nice laid back school; if you want a place that's as close as possible to a vacation while going to medical school, this is where to go. Obviously, it has many of the opportunities that you might want - and includes great early patient contact - but there's not a lot of structured time in the first two years. One of the few places I've been where the students were genuinely happy.
