If you pull up the class stats of accepted Stanford medical students I highly doubt you will fine many Oregon grads. I'm not saying they aren't qualified but with all things being even they will always pull from an elite undergrad.
We can't look at their students, but among some of their current and former Stanford Medical Faculty:
George W. Beadle - Undergrad at Nebraska. Nobel Prize laureate
Thomas J. Fogarty - Undergrad at Xavier College, MD at Cincinnati College of Medicine and interned at U of O Medical in Portland.
Philip Hanawault - Undergrad at Oberlin
Leonard Herzenberg - Undergrad at Brooklyn College
Brian Kobilka - Undergrad at Minnesota-Duluth
Arthur Kornberg - Undergrad at City College of New York, and MD at University of Rochester
Donald Laub - Bachelors and MD at Marquette
Kate Lorig - BS in Nursing at Boston University
Norman Shumway - Undergrad at Tarleton State University and Baylor
Irving Weissman - BS at Montana State College
Lucy Shapiro - Bachelors at Brooklyn College
Not that any of this matters. If someone has the talent and drive to pursue a career in medicine that's fantastic, whether it's at Stanford, like former NFL linebacker Milt McColl, or if it's at the University of Arkansas Medical School, like former 3000mSC AR holder Dan Lincoln.
