Academic Programs
The heart of the WesternU graduate experience is preparing students to become compassionate, leading health care professionals. Through innovative research opportunities, experienced faculty, and cutting-edge technologies and techniques, our students learn to approach every patient as a human being – to better their lives, improve their care, and strengthen their communities.
Campus Expansion
As we look to the future, we are excited to expand further with the development of a permanent home for the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest, which is in the process of transitioning to its new name, the Heatherington College of Osteopathic Medicine, the College of Health Sciences-Northwest, a new behavioral health program, and additional facilities. These developments will address critical health care needs, such as behavioral and rural health, while also enhancing access to services and education for the community.
