Life in Portland

Portland pairs a genuine food-and-coffee culture with the outdoors on every side — the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood skiing, and the coast are each about ninety minutes out. Most of our clinicians live in walkable neighborhoods like Alberta or Sellwood and bike to work more months than not. It is a city that rewards people who like their weekends as much as their work.

About the role

Cascade Medical Center anchors our Pacific Northwest trauma network — a Level II center seeing roughly 90,000 visits a year with a 44-bed main ED, a 10-bed observation unit, and dedicated behavioral-health pods. You will work alongside a stable core group (average tenure 9 years), APPs staffing fast track, and scribes on every shift.

The group runs a transparent, equitable scheduling model: shift counts and overnight burden are published quarterly, and physicians over 55 rotate off nights entirely. Epic with Dragon, bedside ultrasound on every cart, and admitting services that actually answer their pagers.

Portland gives you a food-and-coffee city with the Gorge, Mount Hood, and the coast each ninety minutes away. Most of our docs bike to work more months than not.

  • Level II trauma, ~90K annual visits, 44-bed ED plus obs unit
  • Scribes on every shift and APP fast-track coverage
  • No overnights after 55 — transparent, published shift equity
  • $40K sign-on plus loan repayment and relocation
  • Stable democratic group, average tenure 9 years

Requirements
