Application Information

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Oregon Health & Science University.

At Oregon Health & Science University, we take a holistic approach to evaluating applications and highly value academics, work experience, community service, advocacy, research, teaching, background, and life experience.
Our priority is to train a diverse group of residents each year with different strengths, passions, skillsets, and career goals. We seek to support a diversity of career trajectories including fellowship training, academic medicine, research, policy, advocacy, and community service.
We have high expectations and standards but do not prioritize one aspect of an application over another.
