The following description reflects the master's clinical curriculum.
All students participate in clinical training activities in a variety of settings.
In keeping with the mission of the program, a majority of the clinical opportunities are located outside of metropolitan Portland, many in rural and urban medically underserved sites throughout Oregon. The remainder of the clinical phase will be devoted to an extended preceptorship in primary care. As part of the preceptorship, students are required to complete a health promotion-disease prevention or patient education project. This project, designed to meet an identified health care need in the community, serves as the capstone for the degree.
