University description (as per official university website)
Oregon Heath and Science University, also known as OHSU, is located in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was established in the year 1887 as the University of Oregon Medical School. The university also has a smaller campus in Hillsboro.
World-Class Resources in Health, Education, and Research
In 1887, the inaugural class of the University of Oregon Medical School met in the school's lone building - a two-room converted grocery store in northwest Portland. From that small school we have grown into a world-class teaching hospital and research center that draws in students, scientists, and patients from across the country and around the world. At the same time, we retain our strong commitment to serving our local community, and to treating each patient as a unique individual.
With a rich diversity of activities happening across our campuses in and around Portland, we know that you can find what you are looking for - whether it is preparing yourself for a future as a health care provider, delving into critical research questions, or looking for a place where you can feel completely confident in the high quality of care you or a loved one receives.
What is OHSU?
Oregon Health & Science University is a leading health and research university that strives for excellence in patient care, education, research and community service.
With roots back to 1887, OHSU has a long and outstanding history of dedication to improving the health and well-being of people in Oregon and beyond. As a nonprofit public corporation OHSU provides world-class knowledge for the most complex, and the most common of health care needs. Without OHSU, many Oregonians would have to travel out of the region for their care.
OHSU also provides leading and often world-renowned educational services through its five schools, and is the only place in Oregon that grants doctoral degrees in medicine, dentistry and nursing. And OHSU is the only academic health center in the nation with a school of science and engineering focused exclusively on human and environmental health:
School of Medicine
School of Nursing
School of Dentistry
School of Science & Engineering
School of Pharmacy (offered jointly with Oregon State University)
As a leader in research, OHSU earned $307 million in research funding in fiscal year 2007, with 94 percent of that being money that flows into Oregon from out of state. Additionally, OHSU serves as a catalyst for the region's bioscience industry and is an incubator of discovery, averaging one new breakthrough or innovation every three days, with more than 4,100 research projects currently under way. OHSU disclosed 132 inventions in 2007, many of which open new markets, spin-off businesses and create new opportunities.
Beyond providing critical health care services, quality health care education, and cutting-edge research, OHSU also is a key economic and social force in the Northwest. With an annual budget of $1.4 billion and more than 12,400 employees, OHSU is Portland’s largest, and the state’s fourth largest employer (excluding government). OHSU earns $32 million in gifts, grants, contracts and service funds for every dollar the state invests in OHSU and drives more than $3 billion in annual regional economic activity
