does anyone else find this review alarming?
does anyone else find this review alarming?
i am surprised no one has come to the defense of Oregon. It might be that their residents don't frequent this site; however, it would be encouraging for someone with experience to correct the two negative reviews posted here. I know to take everything on the internet with a grain of salt, but the EM forum is pretty honest and will jump all over you when something is incorrect. All of the other 4 programs I am interested in have not received nearly the negative criticism as Oregon. This program is one of the most competitive in the country, but I keep hearing that this is due to location and not the program itself. I want great training and don't want to sacrifice this for location. When 5 different programs have been sitting in my #1 spot, small things really do matter. I hope to hear otherwise but this program is getting some bad PR.
You also rotate at many different hospitals in the city with the program that I've not had the pleasure of observing or of working with their attendings or staff.
You rotate at Emanuel ED (and several others but Emanuel is the best) just across the river. Emanuel is a great environment with high acuity and several very good attendings who like to teach. At both places, you'll likely be intubating and placing lines on a somewhat regular basis. It just won't be on trauma patients very often. More likely heroin addicted or drunk diabetics. The OHSU ED residency continues to turn out good doctors who pick up jobs in town with a couple very nice groups. I think the MS4 review was a little skewed.
