In 2015, OHSU launched a new university-wide initiative to better support the diverse, health needs of rural Oregon.OHSU resident outside of OHSU Campus for Rural Health in Klamath Falls.The OHSU Campus for Rural Health, with academic headquarters in Klamath Falls, is comprised of distributed, learning sites around the state where OHSU medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy and physician assistant students live and learn together. Students gain valuable, interprofessional experiences in rural clinical settings while immersing themselves in local health issues by participating in a longitudinal, community based project. Current sites are located in Klamath Falls and Coos Bay, and OHSU is exploring possibilities for a new site elsewhere in the state.

The initiative builds on existing concentrations of OHSU resources and programs around the state to formalize and strengthen learning and teaching outside the Portland metro area. Another goal of the sites is to provide organized professional development and training for local practitioners who are teaching OHSU students. To meet facility needs in Klamath Falls, OHSU and Sky Lakes Medical Center joined together on the construction of a collaborative health care building.
