OHSU is Oregon’s only medical school. As such, the school has a unique role to play in Oregon’s healthcare system. A key part of this is to ensure that Oregon has the highest quality and geographically well-distributed healthcare workforce possible. The school is also keenly interested in helping to create a workforce that reflects demographic diversity of all types — cultural, socio-economic and geographic. Oregon, like the rest of the nation, is facing a physician workforce shortage, especially in rural settings and in primary care specialties. The school has initiatives underway to address shortages and to enhance educational curriculum to future healthcare needs. Meeting the school's goals and Oregon’s needs will require campus expansion. On the Marquam Hill campus in Portland, the school has already outgrown its space. Thanks to a gift of 20 acres of land on Portland’s South Waterfront from Schnitzer Investment Corp., plus an anonymous gift of $40 million to expand the school's new South Waterfront campus, the future looks bright for Oregon’s only academic health care center. But it will take an unprecedented partnership between public and private funders to realize the potential of the Schnitzer campus. Featured Priorities: Regionalization of Medical Education | | | To address the physician workforce shortage, especially in underserved areas, the school is developing an innovative regionalized approach to medical education, which includes partnerships with Oregon's higher educational institutions, regional health care systems and community physicians. Citizen support of this effort is crucial. | | | | School of Medicine Alumni Fund for Excellence and Annual Fund | | | Gifts to this fund provide the dean with powerful, flexible resources to address the most pressing needs of the school. The fund has been used to retain the best and brightest through student financial aid, enhance the quality of education, and create start-up funding for unique faculty research efforts. | | | | Scholarships | | | Investments that support scholarships make it possible for the school to attract the best students, no matter what their financial situation may be. Scholarships provide ongoing support that creates many opportunities over several generations of students. | Basic Science Departments Basic science is the benchside science that leads to bedside care and cures.
