I saw this post in another thread and not wanting to hijack the OPs tread I figured I'd post it here for discussion:

Super happy residents, great hospital, Portland is an amazing city with low cost of living (compared to other big cities). However, they have limited research opportunities (if that's important to you), but there is a growing emphasis on it from their new chair. The big red flag however is their boards pass rate, which is 50% for the pass 2 years (2 of 6 failed last year, 4 of 6 year before [maybe other way around]). The new associate PD was taken on to adjust this issue, but when most places have a 100% pass rate its hard to ignore..

I recently interviewed there and for some reason forgot to ask about board pass rates (since almost every other place I was at is near 100%). I was hoping someone else who is a resident there or interviewed there could provide more of the scoop and what they were doing to change this besides the new associate PD. Seems like a HUGE red flag for a large academic institution.
