OHSU-PSU School of Public Health

A New Way of Teaching Public Health

Focusing on community-engaged learning and scholarship, the collaboration between OHSU and PSU is founded on programs that prioritize the many dimensions of public health. With a faculty that covers a wide range of disciplines, the OHSU-PSU partnership ensures that graduates will become leaders in their respective organizations and well-versed in all areas of disease prevention.

Undergraduate Programs

The OHSU-PSU School of Public Health’s multidisciplinary undergraduate programs provide students with the opportunity to customize a focus of study and to create a trajectory toward careers of interest in the health field.

Ignite Leadership & Mentor Program

The Ignite program was developed in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente and Portland Leadership Foundation, which emphasizes a culture of support and community for students in healthcare career pathways that can sometimes be complex and overwhelming. Students who receive the Ignite scholarship will be part of a program emphasizing leadership and mentorship (supported by a $5,000 scholarship), which includes serving as mentors for incoming pre-health students.

Incoming pre-health students beginning at PSU in Fall term are eligible to be matched with PSU's Ignite mentors. This is a one-year commitment (Fall, Winter and Spring terms) for mentors and mentees. Apply to be an Ignite mentee.
