Oregon Health & Science University OHSU Health Program

Program Identity & Fit

OHSU's Diagnostic Radiology residency is an academic, university-based program set entirely on a single Portland campus spanning OHSU University Hospital, Doernbecher Children's Hospital, and the VA, giving residents high case volume and pathologic breadth without inter-site commuting. The program is structured around an 18-month, twice-cycled subspecialty curriculum aligned to the ABR Core exam, with workstation-based teaching and section-specific conferences as its central educational method. OHSU's identity is reinforced by deep institutional research infrastructure (Advanced Imaging Research Center, Knight Cancer Institute, extensive core facilities) and a dedicated four-year ABR Alternate Pathway fellowship track for IMGs seeking board eligibility through structured subspecialty fellowship years. The program explicitly emphasizes culture, resident wellness, and faculty advocacy alongside academic rigor, valuing collegial, open-minded residents who thrive in a tight-knit, single-campus training environment.
