Our Program

Mariah McAlister, MD

Program Director

Thanks for checking out our “small batch” family medicine residency in beautiful Hood River, Oregon. As a 1-2 Rural Training Program, our residents spend much of their 1st year in and around Portland, Oregon, and the second two years primarily in Hood River. Throughout the three years, residents see their own continuity patients at One Community Health (formerly La Clínica del Cariño). One Community Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center that has served the Columbia River Gorge farm workers and other vulnerable populations for the past 30+ years.

Our residents benefit from high-quality and high-volume experiences in Portland during their first year, and then from high-quality, relationship-rich, longitudinal experiences in Hood River during their second two years. Hood River has a vibrant medical community made up of experienced and dedicated family medicine doctors and various specialists. We all work together to train rural family medicine doctors, and to serve our community. Most importantly, we love the work we do, we love the place in which we live and work, and we are excited to share it with you.
