Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Purpose-Driven Role in Family Medicine

Step into a role that balances purpose, flexibility, and professional growth as a Family Medicine physician with Adventist Health Portland. This is a full-time, outpatient-only position located in either the Gresham Station clinic or Portland proper, where you will join a respected nonprofit health system that has served the community since 1893. Here, you will be part of an innovative care model rooted in the principles of "Whole Person Health," with opportunities to lead, grow, and thrive.

You will enjoy a predictable schedule with 36 patient contact hours across a 4.5-day workweek (or a 32-hour flexible option), giving you the work-life balance many physicians strive for but rarely find. Appointments are intentionally structured at 40 minutes for new patients and 20 minutes for follow-ups, allowing for thoughtful, unrushed care. The role includes a light, phone-only call rotation of 1:12 with just 3 to 4 weekends per year, emphasizing Adventist Health's commitment to physician wellness and sustainable practice.

This opportunity emerges from a planned succession as the organization expands to meet growing patient demand in the Portland area. The service region includes Gresham, East Portland, and the surrounding suburban communities, where access to quality outpatient primary care continues to be a high priority. As part of this expansion, you'll also have the chance to explore leadership pathways, including Physician Dyad roles, and contribute to a supportive, mission-driven environment that places value-based care at the forefront.
