OHSU Gets Federal Funding to Alleviate Nursing Shortage
The OHSU School of
Nursing received a $600,000 federal grant to prepare a new group of ethnically
diverse and clinically experienced nurses to serve as faculty, clinical
instructors and community preceptors throughout the state. The grant will
fund a series of graduate courses available to registered nurses working
in rural areas and with underserved populations. Courses will be offered
in either a post-master's certificate or a post-baccalaureate certificate
for preceptors. For more information about these opportunities, go to:

Portland's Waterfront Development Moves Forward
"OHSU's growth
on the waterfront will expand our connections to Portland, help spur the
discovery of the next generation of cures for Oregonians and build the
regional economy," according to Peter Kohler, M.D., OHSU president.
Dozens of elected officials and other dignitaries gathered at the official
ground breaking for the South Waterfront Central District on Oct. 13.
The 30-acre site in the heart of a 130-acre parcel of land south of downtown
Portland will ultimately include an expansion of OHSU facilities, 3,000
housing units, a 4-acre greenway, a 2-acre neighborhood park, and transit
facilities connecting the area to downtown Portland and Marquam Hill.
