Mission of the Graduate Programs in Human Nutrition (GPHN)

The Graduate Programs in Human Nutrition supports the overall vision of OHSU, which is to improve the health and quality of life for all Oregonians through excellence, innovation and leadership in health care, education and research. A fundamental priority throughout OHSU is to enable each student to achieve his or her potential as a health care professional while efficiently and effectively meeting the health-related needs of the multiple communities he or she will serve.

Our program strives to provide our students with a dynamic array of knowledge and skills so that they are prepared to practice in and advance the fields of nutrition and dietetics.
