Oregon Health Sciences University Employer Reviews

Enjoyed working with medical students and helping them get through the maze of regulations from the Nat'l Bd of Medical Examiners and the OHSU Dean's Office. Also enjoyed the independence and being able to originate my own program management methods in placing students as well as producing and maintaining the considerable paperwork needed for each student. – more...  Co-workers were great team players--we helped each other a lot and had fun together. The hardest part of the job was to professionally meet the demands of literally hundreds of people. – less

Great in medical expertise and direct patient care. However, OHSU lacks a cohesive culture and approach to business. Many business decisions that should be made in a top-down manner are made from the bottom-up, leadng to very slow change when urgency is needed, especially concerning marketing, industry partnerships, innovative developments, handling – more...  Medicaid patients, and vision for future directions. Therefore, there is a lack of a cohesive culture. – less

OHSU has a very distinctive culture and is a large stable organization. Each day was different and presented a more unique challenge. Over the six years I worked at this organization, I learned how to manage people effectively and each day reinforced my desire to stand up for what was right and for my staff. Upper management can often be disconnected – more...  from line staff and that often gets in the way of getting the job done. By far, the most enjoyable part of my job was interacting with my direct reports. They are a truly wonderful group of people. – less

On a typical day I was always met with growth and opportunities to expand my knowledge. The management for my particular dept. really was indifferent as to solving problems with coworkers. The threat of a union made him into a bit of a coward. He was easily bullied into decisions that pacified, more than solving conflict. I would have to say the hardest – more...  part of the job was the one coworker, trying to accomplish goals that this coworker did not agree with. The most enjoyable part was being a part of a community of professionals who continually challenged my knowledge and added to my education daily. – less

Great Learning environment, encouraging supervisors, great benefits
