Located in the fabulous Lloyd Center Mall on the third floor, our campus offers many alternatives to students. Portland is the destination for recreation including perfect year-round skiing. Boasting nearly a million inhabitants in and around the city, students can enjoy the surrounding forests, countryside, and ocean beaches when they are not studying.
Established in 1985, the Portland campus is convenient for both Oregon and Washington residents and is accessible by major highways and public transportation including the light rail.
Energizing and exciting, our campus has expanded the curriculum and now offers eight programs of study to meet the employment needs of the Portland and Vancouver health care communities. We offer students intensive didactic and hands-on practice within each individual medical program. Taught by highly skilled, trained instructors, students find the learning experience to be challenging yet fulfilling.
