The OHSU Addiction Medicine Fellowship aims to:
- Cultivate compassionate physicians who have a deep understanding of the evidence-based care of substance use disorders in multiple contexts and among diverse populations.
- Train practitioners in advanced clinical interventions in addiction medicine, which includes exposing trainees to innovative and diverse treatment settings, including inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings that integrate: addictions care, opioid treatment programs, medical withdrawal management (detox), residential settings, specialty ambulatory settings, hospital-based consult services and more!
- Produce practitioners who are clinical experts, change agents, educators and advocates in the field of addiction medicine within community-based organizations and/or academic centers.
OHSU is Oregon’s only public academic health center. We are a system of hospitals and clinics across Oregon and southwest Washington. We are an institution of higher learning, with schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry and public health – and with a network of campuses and partners throughout Oregon. We are a national research hub, with thousands of scientists developing lifesaving therapies and deeper understanding. We are a statewide economic engine and Portland’s largest employer, and as a public organization, we provide services for the most vulnerable Oregonians, and outreach to improve health in communities across the state.
