A two-day workshop recently hosted by Portland State University in mid-September launched the statewide PSM program development initiative!  Oregon State University has been serving as the lead institution since it is currently the only university in the Pacific Northwest to offer PSM programs.  That will soon change with PSM programs in various stages of development at seven of the OUS campuses including Southern Oregon University, Eastern Oregon University, Portland State University, Oregon Health Sciences University, Western Oregon University, and the Oregon Institute of Technology.  Read more…
