Student Learning Outcomes

Student learning outcomes (SLOs) are used in academic assessment to measure how effective education is at OHSU. Each academic program identifies student learning outcomes and uses assessment activities to measure student performance and improve curriculum. SLOs are publicly available for all programs: https://www.ohsu.edu/education/student-learning-outcomes
