A Message From The Program Director
Hello and greetings from Portland, Oregon.
Most of us chose our residency training program based on location, an emotional attachment and feeling that you would fit in well with the team. This can be hard to experience without visiting in person, but we are committed to trying our best to convey our welcome. So come interview, talk with our residents, and spend time with us. I
f you want great training and love the Pacific NW come join us to Learn, Play and Stay in this lovely part of the world. Quality of life is exceptional in Oregon. I have been the Providence Oregon FM Residency Program Director since 2016 (after 27 years in Seattle at University of Washington) and this group of residents and faculty are exceptional learners and teachers, and a fun group of outstanding colleagues. Since 2016, 22 of 56 grads stayed on to work with Providence. The vast majority do outpatient FM, some become hospitalists and some do FM OB. We have grads who are faculty members, and some who have completed fellowships. Come join us!
Based on national recommendations, equity, cost savings for applicants, and less carbon emissions, we plan on doing virtual interviews for the 2024 match. We had some virtual resident only sessions too, as this was successful in helping candidates get to know the residents and seeing how well they might fit in our group and in recruiting outstanding diverse candidates from broad backgrounds. As we come out of this pandemic, we may have some hybrid in person options too for the 2024 Match.
Please apply and interview with us. Hope to see you soon!
If you have any questions, please send them to Kara.Castro@providence.org (our Supervising Residency Coordinator) and she will make sure the best person to answer your question gets your email. Thanks, Justin. June 29, 2023
