Biography

Dr. Gorman completed his training at Rush Medical College in Chicago, learned about the realities of rural primary care in private practice in Astoria, Oregon, and completed a research fellowship at the Portland VA.  He is board certified in Internal Medicine, is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, and a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics.  

He presently serves as Thread Director for Health Systems Sciences in the School of Medicine at OHSU, helping to implement a major new thread concerned with systems thinking and systems based practice in the OHSU YourMD curriculum.  He also serves as Assistant Dean for Rural Medical Education, working with the Campus for Rural Health to expand our rural medical education programs to help build Oregon’s rural physician workforce.  To these positions he brings over 30 years of practice experience, ranging from rural primary care internal medicine and geriatrics to urban tertiary care hospitalist, and spanning a series of major transformations in the healthcare system.

Outside OHSU, Dr. Gorman advocates for universal access to healthcare through Physicians for a National Health Program and Health Care for All Oregon.
