Message from the Director
Welcome to Providence Oregon Family Medicine Residency. We are located
in the greater Portland area. Our community program has the best of all
worlds. We are small enough to have excellent cohesiveness and an ideal
nurturing learning environment, yet close enough to the larger metropolis
and larger hospitals for specialist training. Our graduates often stay
working for Providence and most graduates continue to care for underserved
populations in Oregon and Washington. Most of our graduates stay in the
area and many continue working for Providence.

Discover Our Program
At Providence Oregon Family Medicine Residency, we promote and model lifelong
learning, communication and procedural skills and the teamwork necessary
to provide high-quality care, especially to those most in need. Our mission
is to train family physicians to be the cornerstone of patient-centered,
socially responsible, community-oriented medical care while addressing
social determinants affecting health.
As physicians of the Providence Oregon Family Medicine Residency Program,
we treat common illnesses uncommonly well. We honor patients' unique needs
and cultures. We strive to balance our professional and personal lives.
We are accepting of all people no matter what background, sexual orientation
or age and we welcome and support diversity.
