What Educational Opportunities Are Available at OHSU?

OHSU offers education and training for health professionals across its missions to heal, teach, and discover. The site presents three main student-facing paths: study and train at OHSU, see what makes us different, and discover campus life. If you are exploring health-professions education rather than patient care or research careers, those three sections are the places to start.

Study and Train at OHSU

The "Students" section is the entry point for education at OHSU. It points to:

• Study and train at OHSU — the main path for prospective and current students looking at programs.
• See what makes us different — context on what distinguishes an OHSU education.
• Discover campus life — what day-to-day student experience looks like.

The site does not list individual degree programs, prerequisites, or application deadlines in the material available here, so use the Students section itself to reach those details.

What Makes OHSU Education Distinctive

OHSU frames its work around three missions: heal, teach, and discover. Education sits alongside patient care and research rather than being separate from them. That framing matters if you want training connected to a health system that, in its own description, treats the region's most complex health needs and conducts research that saves lives.

The site also connects education to careers: "When you join OHSU, you become part of our missions to heal, teach and discover." For students thinking beyond graduation, that link between training and working at OHSU is worth noting.

Campus Life and Student Experience

"Discover campus life" is the section for the student experience outside coursework. The available material does not detail specific housing, organizations, or facilities, so treat this as a pointer to explore rather than a complete picture.

Research Opportunities for Students

Research is one of OHSU's three missions, and the site maintains a "Resources for researchers" area plus "OHSU research in the news." Examples of current research include:

• A study testing telehealth support for autism, aimed at helping families with young children without long waits or expensive visits.
• The first successful therapy for nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, reported by an OHSU cardiologist.
• An $11 million research effort on dental health, targeting the microbes that cause tooth decay.

If your interest is research training, these illustrate the kind of work happening at OHSU, though the site does not specify student eligibility or how to join a lab.

How to Decide If OHSU Fits You

Common Questions

Does OHSU offer education beyond clinical training? The site's student section is framed around studying and training at OHSU, with research resources listed separately. The available material does not enumerate non-clinical programs.

Is there cost or login information for students? The site shows billing and insurance links for patients ("Pay my bill," "Price Transparency"), but the material provided does not include tuition, fees, or student login details. Check the Students section directly for those.

Can I apply to work at OHSU as a student? The site invites visitors to "Find your next career with us" and "Apply now" under Work at OHSU, but it does not state student-specific hiring terms here.
