What impressed you positively?:
Of all the places I interviewed, OHSU was probably the most well-rounded in terms of quality and breadth of clinical experience, didactics, faculty, etc. The chair, Dr. Kirsch, came from Hopkins a few years ago and is very involved in resident education...clearly a great strength of the program. Didactics are organized in a "spiral" curriculum so each year you are touching back on the same topics but at a deeper level of intricacy and understanding each time. <P> Portland is, of course, a beautiful and eclectic town. Perfect for outdoor-lovers, bicycle enthusiasts, and beer aficionados alike. Report as inappropriate
What impressed you negatively?:
No formalized internal moonlighting, although sporadic holiday coverage for pay is available to residents. Report as inappropriate
How was your interview day? Please summarize.:
Program puts you up in a 4.5 star, very cool and modern downtown hotel. Dinner with the residents in the hotel's restaurant (great Thai/Asian food). Picked up by a cab the morning of interview. Start off the day with a presentation about the program by chair, then two 30-min interviews with faculty members and 15-min interviews with chair and PD. Lunch, then end the day with a tour including a ride on the awesome tram! Report as inappropriate
