Our organization stands as the largest multispecialty medical group in Oregon and southwestern Washington, comprising over 1,500 physicians and more than 300 administrative professionals dedicated to serving over 615,000 members.

We are in search of collaborative team members who prioritize patient care in a supportive environment. Our focus is not on financial metrics, allowing us to remove business pressures from patient interactions. Our patient-centered model fosters seamless and efficient care across various specialties. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, you will manage a higher acuity of diseases while conducting routine exams, including all refractions, and will lead Pediatric patients referred by our Optometry partners.

• Full professional liability coverage at no cost, 100% reimbursement for obtaining and maintaining board certification, continuing medical education reimbursement, and in-house CME opportunities.
