Welcome!
I’m thrilled that you’re considering Providence Portland Medical Center (PPMC) for your Internal Medicine residency. This hospital and program have been central to my journey—from starting out as a medical scribe here before medical school to now serving as Chief Resident.
PPMC offers a rigorous and well-rounded clinical training experience in a collaborative and supportive environment. As a 483-bed tertiary care center located in the heart of Northeast Portland, we care for a diverse and complex patient population that includes people from all backgrounds and income levels. We also serve as a tertiary referral center in the region, receiving referrals from communities across the Pacific Northwest.
Our inpatient training is led by general medical education faculty and hospitalist clinician-educators who are deeply committed to resident teaching and education. The ICU experience is notably hands-on: without fellows, residents take the lead on procedures and critical care management, offering exceptional preparation for hospitalist practice in open ICUs or procedural fellowships. Our outpatient curriculum is equally robust— residents manage their own continuity panels, supported by a comprehensive care team that includes behavioral health, case management, clinical pharmacy, and nursing.
Whether it’s primary care, hospital medicine, or subspecialty training, PPMC equips you with the mentorship, clinical exposure, and academic opportunities to help you thrive. Many of our residents go on to work as hospitalists or primary care providers in the area. Those seeking further subspecialty training have a great record of matching into competitive fellowships in a variety of fields. PPMC is a place where residents are truly supported to grow into the kind of physicians they aspire to be.
We also recognize that well-being is integral to success. Our 4+2 block schedule ensures that your next weekend off is always within sight, and residents benefit from generous vacation and wellness half days designed to help balance life beyond medicine. Your life continues throughout your medical training, and our program is designed to support you during this time.
But what truly sets this program apart is the community. Our residents and faculty are not only passionate educators and clinicians but also genuinely supportive colleagues and friends. Everyone in our program knows each other on a first name basis, and many spend time together outside of work, not only at program-sponsored gatherings but also exploring the vibrant city and outdoors of Portland. I’ve found lifelong mentors and peers here, and I’m proud to be part of a program that values both excellence and well-being.
Take a look around our website, and don’t hesitate to reach out— we’d love to share more about what makes PPMC such a special place to train!
