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.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Talked to a few current OHSU students, read interview feedback.
What was the most difficult question?
What part of your shadowing experience gave you the most positive impression of a career in medicine?
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.
