Mission

The mission of the OHSU Hillsboro Internal Medicine Residency program is to train resilient general internists and leaders equipped to collaborate with diverse interprofessional teams to provide exceptional care for the community.

The OHSU Hillsboro Internal Medicine Residency Program was awarded a training grant to study the impacts of structural racism in our community and to develop a structural competency and anti-racism curriculum for our residents. Our proposal was selected from a pool of hundreds of applications, and was awarded funding to advance healthcare equity in our community.
