Physician / Assistant Professor - Emergency Medicine (Hillsboro Medical Center)
About The Position
The OHSU Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM) is seeking a full-time physician to join our team at Hillsboro Medical Center (HMC). HMC is a traditional community emergency department, managing over 31,000 patient visits annually. Located on the west side of Portland/Hillsboro in an agricultural region, the ED serves a diverse patient population, including a large Latino and pediatric community. HMC is a stroke center and features a cardiac catheterization lab, providing comprehensive care to the surrounding region. The hospital is undergoing a significant transformation, with many OHSU Marquam Hill departments now providing specialty services on-site, creating a unique blend of academic and community services. Upper-level emergency medicine, internal medicine, and family medicine residents rotate through the ED, contributing to a rich teaching environment. The department has a dedicated team of physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs). There are seven daily physician shifts averaging 8 hours each and one daily 10-hour shift. APP staffing supports the department with structured daily coverage. In February 2023, HMC opened a 10-bed observation unit, managed by OHSU DEM. The unit provides ongoing care for ED patients with anticipated stays of 8-48 hours for adults aged 18 and older. Patients are cared for by an interdisciplinary team including RNs, NPs, PAs, technicians, and physicians. The observation unit is supported by a full spectrum of clinical services, with attending physicians available 24/7. Leadership includes a Unit Medical Director and an APP Unit Assistant Medical Director, with APP staffing of 6.5 FTE across three daily 8-hour shifts.
