Opportunities for Learners

COMPADRE Admissions Information

COMPADRE is a robust collaboration between UC Davis and OHSU medical schools and several graduate medical education (GME) programs across multiple 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.

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 (all specialties may not be available at all times).

• Learning community and cohort-based peer engagement

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