Are you new a resident or intern starting at OHSU? Welcome aboard!

As you may be aware, as house officers at this university you are represented by our union, AFSCME Local 4820. A group of your coresidents founded the union a few years back to address issues faced by residents and interns at OHSU. We’re excited to have a union here and are looking forward to sharing some information with you about it as you navigate the onboarding process.

Thanks to all who attended our event last week on student loan forgiveness.  If you were unable to attend, or just would like to revisit the event, here’s a video of the presentation you can view at your convenience. Below is a list of links that Mr. Matheny shared during the presentation.

The Covington Investigation has brought to light OHSU’s long-standing history of complacency and neglect in the presence of  mistreatment of women, minorities, and other marginalized groups. As the OHSU House Officer Union, we appreciate Covington’s work in generating  the report, and are especially grateful to  OHSU community members that brought forth their concerns and experiences of mistreatment. We, as the board of the OHSU HOU, agree with the findings in the report, as well as the recommendations that the investigators have laid forth for OHSU leadership to implement.
