Faculty members are nominated by the director of Residency Training and appointed by the chair of the Department of Psychiatry. Resident members consist of a representative from each year of the training program, plus the chief residents.
Membership includes a total of nine faculty and six residents.
Ultimate responsibility for the Residency Training Program at OHSU rests with the chair of the Department of Psychiatry, who delegates this responsibility to the director of Residency Training and the associate director, who in turn works with the Residency Training Committee to manage the program. There are three main functions of the committee. First is the design and implementation of the RTP itself. All aspects of the RTP are regularly reviewed and any changes are approved by the committee. Second is the evaluation of the program and the residents, which occurs on a quarterly basis.
