Oregon’s population is aging, and its healthcare workforce is shrinking. What stands between our region and an all-out crisis in healthcare? Education.
Simply put, Oregon needs to educate and retain new physicians, nurses, dentists, engineers and allied health professionals. The future well-being of the state and its citizens depends on it. There is only one place in the region — OHSU — that can produce the leaders we need to meet the challenges ahead.
As Oregon’s only health and science university, OHSU includes nationally ranked schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, and science and engineering. It is the state’s sole educator of physicians and dentists, and its primary educator of nurses. The university also educates student in a broad range of health, science and engineering disciplines.
In the decades ahead, innovative programs can help bring new health professionals to Oregon. Meeting the challenges ahead, however, will require significant investment.
