Providence Health & Services-Oregon sponsors four ACGME-accredited residency programs: Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine; Providence Hood River Rural Track; Providence Portland Internal Medicine Residency; and Providence St. Vincent Internal Medicine Residency. All four programs are affiliated with Oregon Health Sciences University and also serve as clinical training sites for OHSU-sponsored residency programs. The programs have successfully implemented ACGME's Next Accreditation System, fill consistently in Match and have outstanding board pass rates. A diverse patient population, enthusiastic medical staff and consistent executive-level support in superlative physical facilities allow creativity and educational innovation in an environment that supports patient safety and clinical quality.
Portland has a metro population over two million, but maintains strong local neighborhoods and a close connection to nature. Consequently, the city consistently ranks high in national "livability" contests. The New York Times describes Portland as a "bastion of good living" and "one of our national capitals of cool." With easy access to mountains and beaches, coupled with a nationally recognized food culture, Portland is a large little city with an outsized and unique cultural footprint.
