The OHSU Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM) is seeking a full-time physician to join our team at Adventist Health Portland (AHP).

 

The Adventist Health Portland emergency department serves a largely urban population on the east side of Portland, caring for over 50,000 patient visits per year. The department serves many at-risk communities, including diverse nationalities and recent immigrants. AHP receives the highest number of cardiac arrest resuscitations in Multnomah County and has very active stroke and cardiac programs. The ED works closely with the hospitalist service, fostering strong collaboration and patient care coordination.

This is also a learning site with regular medical student rotations, providing ample teaching opportunities. The department has initiated a research agenda and is currently participating in the ICE-CAP study, focused on CNS cooling and recovery from cardiac arrest.
