Introducing ConvergeSPH: A New Digital Home for Academic Excellence

The OHSU-PSU School of Public Health (SPH) is taking a major step forward in administrative innovation with the introduction of ConvergeSPH a unified academic operations platform built specifically to support the School’s unique dual-university model. Operating as a joint institution between Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and Portland State University (PSU), SPH combines the specialized healthcare research environment of OHSU with the urban, community-engaged academic strengths of PSU. To support this collaborative academic ecosystem, ConvergeSPH integrates course scheduling, faculty directory management, program requirements, and curricular tracking into a single, cohesive digital home. This centralized approach ensures that current students, prospective students, and community members experience a seamless, unified institution.

By consolidating data that previously existed across separate university systems, ConvergeSPH elevates institutional transparency, operational efficiency, and academic quality. The platform provides reliable data tracking to ensure rigorous academic standards and support ongoing accreditation through the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). Furthermore, public access to the platform allows external stakeholders, prospective applicants, and academic collaborators to easily explore SPH faculty expertise, academic program structures, and yearly course offerings.
