As the state's only health and research university, OHSU brings together education, research, patient care and community service. While each component has its own individual goals and mission, all of them are bound together by a common vision - to improve the well-being of Oregonians.

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) dominates the healthcare landscape in Oregon. Each year, the state's only academic medical center sees more than 553,000 outpatient visits and 25,700 discharges from its two hospitals. At any given time, 2,600 future physicians, nurses, dentists, and scientists attend OHSU, and 19,000 healthcare professionals keep their skills up-to-date through the university's continuing education programs. Its scientists break new ground in areas as diverse as oncology, heart disease, aging, genetics, infertility, and nutrition, funded by annual research grants of $256 million. It achieves consistently high rankings in the annual U.S. News & World Report survey of graduate schools and has won four consecutive Consumers Choice Awards from the National Research Corporation for quality of care.
