Opportunities for Learners


COMPADRE Admissions Information Session

Please join us for an informational webinar to learn about the California Oregon Medical Partnership to Address Disparities in Rural Education and Health (COMPADRE) program. COMPADRE is a robust collaboration between UC Davis and OHSU medical schools and over 30 graduate medical education (GME) programs across 10 health care systems throughout northern California and Oregon. COMPADRE aims to recruit learners that want to address physician shortages in underserved urban, rural, and tribal communities that result in health disparities due to community members’ limited access to adequate health care. Check out https://compadreinfo.eventbrite.com/ for more details!

General Criteria:

  • Lived experience with our target patient populations

  • Adaptable and service-oriented

  • Community support endorsement showcasing record of service

Some of the benefits of COMPADRE for learners are:

  • Professional identity formation geared to target population

  • Longitudinal integrated clinical and community experience

  • Potential early Residency placement in all Primary Care fields (Family Med, Internal Med, Pediatrics) as well as Psychiatry, OB-GYN, General Surgery and Emergency Medicine

  • Learning community and cohort-based peer engagement

  • Access to regional resources at both UC Davis and Oregon Health and Science University Schools of Medicine

Please register to attend and learn more about the program and the application process for pre-medical students!
