CEFPR is a University administered (Oregon Health and Sciences University), unopposed rural program that trains FP graduates to enter rural/frontier practice. Currently 80% of our graduates are participating in communities of less than 10,000 population in RURAL sites (not suburban-more than 100 miles from major cities). We offer procedural training (including EGD/colonoscopy), an extensive curriculum in OB, and experience with a perinatologist.
