Academic partnerships

We’re proud to call ourselves a teaching organization. CCC hosts more than 200 learners from local partner colleges and universities each year. These schools select and assign students to work with us in our pharmacy, primary care, mental health, substance use disorder and public policy programs. We currently receive learners from the following schools:

  • National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM).
  • Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM).
  • Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
  • Pacific University.
  • Portland Community College (PCC).
  • Portland State University (PSU).

If you attend one of these schools, please contact your advisor for more information about how to learn with us.

Internships at CCC outside of these academic partnerships are rare. Recruitment for these opportunities occurs through social media.
