MedStaircase Scholarship

The OUS was thrilled to have had the opportunity to sponsor OSU grad Stephen Machado to join the OHSU Department of Urology during a week long observership. 

MedStaircase is a nonprofit organization committed to increasing diversity in healthcare, because patient outcomes are improved when their doctors look like they do. Through mentorship and scholarship, MedStaircase supports students along their journey to a career in medicine.  In their inaugural summer of Clinical Experience Scholarships, MedStaircase was able to provide 17 undergraduate students of color with a subsidized internships.  The OUS encourages participation in this wonderful organization.
