Oregon ties plus meaningful interaction with rural, underserved or diverse communities — and, distinctively, OHSU states it gives priority to applicants who have themselves experienced inequalities within the healthcare system or demonstrated an ability to overcome adversity. That makes lived experience an explicit asset here, not just observed service. The committee looks for mission fit, self-awareness and grit; in-state applicants hold a significant advantage.

Watch out: Service described as hours rather than as what it taught about patient needs and barriers to care answers this school's stated emphasis poorly.
