The residents at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center (PSVMC) are a diverse and enthusiastic group. They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and each brings a unique perspective to residency. During this formative experience, the residents themselves are an integral part of the supportive and nurturing learning environment at PSVMC. The small size of the program, the presence of talented peers, and the humane call schedule all combine to allow important relationships to develop and flourish.
Hi there!
Welcome prospective residents to the Providence St. Vincent Internal Medicine Residency Program.
As Chief Medical Resident, I am pleased to introduce our program, renowned for its rigorous training and supportive community. We are dedicated to training exceptional physicians through an educational experience that emphasizes clinical excellence, compassion, and patient-centered care. Our residents engage with a diverse patient population, navigating complex clinical scenarios that foster a robust learning environment.
Situated within a large hospital, our residency program offers exposure to a broad spectrum of pathologies that prioritizes resident involvement at multiple levels. Providence St. Vincent is home to Oregon's busiest emergency department and is a major tertiary referral center, facilitating complex cases from across Oregon, northern California, and southern Washington. We pride ourselves on a supportive environment that prioritizes resident well-being and equips them for careers in primary care, hospital-based medicine, rural health, or specialized fellowships. The program encourages active resident participation through on-campus clinics, resident-driven reports, and specialist-led didactics.
Outside the clinical setting, residents enjoy a balanced lifestyle in Portland, a major hub of the Pacific Northwest and celebrated for its outdoor activities and culinary offerings. I have chosen to stay in Portland and at Providence St Vincent after chief year because I appreciate this vibrant city, the beauty of the surrounding area and the camaraderie of the Providence St. Vincent community.
I encourage you to explore our program through the website and Instagram page to understand what makes Providence St. Vincent so special. For any inquiries or to connect with current residents, please feel free to reach out. We are eager to share more about our community and appreciate your consideration of Providence St. Vincent.
Kindly,
Abby Lindseth, MD
Chief Medical Resident
