Premedical Outreach and Guidance
Outreach events
Are you a current college student thinking of applying to the MD program at Oregon Health & Science University?
Have you already graduated from college and no longer have access to a pre-med or pre-health advisor? Though we cannot provide individual advising or coaching or mentoring, we can answer your questions about how our process works or what it requires.
Please see below for more information about upcoming outreach events.
Are you applying to OHSU's MD Program currently (the 2025 Cycle)? Or maybe you are thinking of applying in another year or two? Do you have questions for us regarding our requirements, secondary application, and overall admissions process? Though we can't provide individual advising or coaching, we can answer your questions about how our process works or what it requires.
Please feel free to join both the UME Admissions and OASIS Program Teams for a drop-in, virtual, open Q&A forum. No registration necessary! These sessions will be held every other month through the summer, fall, and winter -- stay tuned for future dates. (Due to OHSU staffing reductions, we are switching to every other month in lieu of every month.)
