Your practice will address the full spectrum of dermatological needs in a community eager for local specialty care. Currently, patients must travel to the Tri-Cities or Walla Walla for treatment, creating significant barriers to care and delays in diagnosis. As the first full-time dermatologist in northeastern Oregon, you'll provide accessible, continuity-based care that transforms the patient experience from one of frustration and travel to one of convenience and relationship-based treatment.
Each day, you'll see a diverse mix of patients ranging from routine skin screenings to complex dermatological conditions, allowing you to utilize the full breadth of your training. Unlike high-volume dermatology practices that prioritize throughput over quality, your schedule will be designed to allow meaningful patient interactions and thorough clinical evaluation.
Your clinical practice will be structured to emphasize quality care while maintaining sustainable productivity. With the flexibility to help design your own workflows and clinical processes, you can create an environment that aligns with your clinical philosophy and practice style.
While establishing a new service line, you'll have the opportunity to select equipment and design clinical spaces that support optimal dermatological care. Good Shepherd Medical Center is committed to providing the resources needed to deliver excellent specialty care in a community setting.
This clinical opportunity combines the best aspects of private practice autonomy with the support and resources of an established healthcare system. You'll build a practice that reflects your training and interests while addressing significant unmet need in a community eager for dermatological expertise.
