About The Position

Planned Parenthood of Oregon & Southwest Washington (PPOSW) is seeking MD/DO physicians to provide specialty services on an independent contractor basis at health centers across Oregon and Southwest Washington. Physicians may be based in the Portland or Eugene, Oregon area and provide care during scheduled clinical sessions at assigned locations. Travel to other health centers, including occasional overnight travel, may be required.

Depending on training, experience, and clinical privileges, physicians may provide procedural abortion care, including aspiration abortion and dilation and evacuation (D&E); vasectomy; colposcopy and LEEP; and complex gynecologic consultation and care. The role expands access to specialty services where in-house capacity is limited, particularly at regional health centers in Eugene, Medford, Salem, Bend, and Ontario.

This is a clinical-only contractor opportunity. Physicians provide direct patient care under PPOSW protocols, standing orders, and privileging requirements, consistent with Planned Parenthood Federation of America Medical Standards and Guidelines. Clinical oversight is provided by the Associate Medical Director, Specialty Services. The position does not include supervisory, training, administrative, or committee responsibilities. Scheduling and session frequency will be determined individually based on physician availability, services offered, and organizational needs. Compensation and other contractual terms will be discussed with qualified candidates.
