OHSU

hands-on

25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described OHSU as a welcoming program with strong operative experience, a night-float coverage system, and a single main site. Shared morning meetings across services keep residents connected even when on different rotations. Rotators described program leadership as an enthusiastic teacher with a candid communication style. Research support is flexible — one resident pursuing a PhD alongside others with less research focus. Portland lifestyle highlighted as a positive.

Oregon Health and Science Univ

mixed hands-on

19-20Three rotators in 2019/20 described a lifestyle-balanced program with spine fellows only, strong program-director support, and several newer faculty building research infrastructure. Rotators noted lower trauma volume at the main site (with a busier Level 1 across the river), weaker sports depth, and variable engagement from residents and attendings with rotators.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described about half of rotators being invited back, moderate case volume, limited research support, and variable engagement from residents and attendings. Facility expansion was underway and leadership was mixed in approachability.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described a down-to-earth program with a solid operative experience starting PGY2, a centralized campus, comprehensive night float, and minimal fellow interference. Rotators noted resident-run didactics, limited research resources, and a strong chair presence at fracture rounds.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a chair invested in building academics, solid operative experience, a relaxed resident group, and strong fellowship outcomes. Location and outdoor access were highlights.
14-15Two rotators in 2014/15 described a well-rounded program with a lifestyle emphasis, new faculty hires across subspecialties, strong tumor and spine exposure, and minimal fellow interference. Didactics were described as inconsistent and research was growing.

Paraphrased from rotator survey responses. Names and identifying details removed.
