Must be willing to work at all clinics in the Portland Service area. Growth opportunity. Wherever you work, you’ll find a perfect blend of urban excitement and natural beauty in Portland, Oregon.

Home to the Portland Trail Blazers, "Rip City" offers residents endless entertainment, with eclectic art and culinary scenes, sports culture and distinct neighborhood identities.

Hood, the Columbia Gorge and the Oregon Coast, Portland offers unparalleled, year-round access to outdoor adventures.

Portland costs about 5% above the national average, but the trade-off is tangible: post-shift food cart pods on Alberta, Saturday mornings at Powell's City of Books, and an aerial tram that glides you to OHSU above the Willamette. This is where nurses trade strip malls for rain-forest trails.
