THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON MEDICAL SCHOOL, located in Portland,
was chartered in 1887, as Oregon's second medical school. The first, the
medical department of Willamette University, was merged with the University
of Oregon Medical School in 1913. The campus is a 1Ol-acre tract overlooking
the city in Sam Jackson Park. Located on the same campus are the University of
Oregon Dental School and the University of Oregon School of Nursing.
The Medical School offers a standard curriculum in medicine, leading to
the M.D. degree, a special five-year combined medical and graduate program
leading to the M.S. and M.D. degrees, graduate studies in the basic sciences
leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, programs in medical technology leading
to the B.S. and M.S. degrees, a two-year program in radiologic technology, an
internship in hospital dietetics, and training in occupational therapy, cytotechnology,
and orthoptic technique. The school's internship and residency programs
provide more than 170 appointments to qualified physicians. Extensive postgraduate
programs are conducted for physicians and medical technologists.
The Medical School's hospitals and clinics, located on the campus, provide
teaching laboratories for clinical studies; 13,000 patients receive medical
services and treatment annually in the school's hospitals; recorded visits to the
school's outpatient clinics total 200,000 each year. The Medical School's research
program is supported through funds provided by the state and Federal governments
and by foundations and private donors; research grants total more than
$4,600,000 annually.
Curriculum in Medicine. The curriculum in medicine leading to the M.D.
degree requires a minimum of three years of premedical studies, followed by
four years of work at the Medical School.
A student entering the Medical School without a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor
of Science degree must complete the work required for one of these degrees at
the University of Oregon or at the institution at which he received his premedical
preparation, before entering upon the work of the third year in the Medical School.
The University of Oregon and most of the colleges and universities of the
Pacific Northwest recognize credit earned by a student during his first two years
at the Medical School as credit earned in residence toward the bachelor's degree.
A suggested premedical curriculum for students planning to enter the Medical
School is presented on pages 190-191 of this Catalog.
Curriculum in Medical Technology. The curriculum in medical technology
leading to the bachelor's degree is a four-year program, including three years
of work on the Eugene campus of the University, followed by one year at the
Medical School. See page 190 of this Catalog.

concerning the curriculum in medicine, may be obtained 011 request.
