The Opportunity

Step into a role that offers the professional satisfaction of a high-volume regional center with the lifestyle of a Pacific Northwest mountain town.

Clinical Practice: A true broad-spectrum general surgery practice covering an even mix of open, laparoscopic, GI, ENT, urology, trauma, and endoscopic procedures (including colonoscopies).

Patient scope spans from pediatrics to geriatrics.

The Environment

You will join an established team of long-tenured surgeons (including partners who have been with the medical center since 1990 and 2001).

While currently working out of separate offices, a major building renovation is underway to bring all five surgeons under one modern roof within the next 12 to 18 months.

Exceptional Support

High-level support structure including two dedicated surgery APPs, with an APP paired with each surgeon in the clinic one day a week.

Academic Connection

Opportunity to engage in academic medicine through interaction with rotating family medicine residents.

Technology & Growth

While the hospital does not currently utilize robotic-assisted surgery, leadership is actively willing to invest in technologies like the Da Vinci platform for the right candidate.

Schedule & Call

A balanced, full-time Monday through Friday schedule (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM when not on call).

Clinical weeks typically consist of 2 days in the clinic, 2 days in the OR (including a full endo day of 12–14 cases and a general OR day of 5–6 cases), and 1 dedicated administrative day.

Call is shared equally at 1:4.

Requirements

  • Experience: While 5+ years of post-residency experience is preferred to navigate our high-volume caseload, we are entirely open to dynamic, motivated new graduates who possess excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a strong drive to thrive in a fast-paced clinical setting.
  • Credentials: Board Certified or Board Eligible in General Surgery; MD or DO; eligible for or holding an active Oregon medical license.
