Nurse Practitioner - Float (Family Medicine Clinics)

Department Overview

OHSU Family Medicine is part of OHSU School of Medicine. OHSU Family Medicine focuses on family health. We provide preventive, primary and specialty care for you, your children, your spouse, your parents and your grandparents. We provide all that family medicine has to offer - from maternity care through geriatrics. Our clinics are home to more than 120,000 patients every year, but despite the large number, our physicians, nurses and other clinic staff know their patients - and their families - by name. OHSU Family Medicine strongly supports the comprehensive scope to provide the highest level of care for our community. The clinical work includes but not limited to all ages of life including newborn to end of life and supporting patients with substance use disorder including medication-assisted treatment and gender affirming care. OHSU embraces diversity and welcomes all patients.

The department of Family Medicine has been consistently ranked among the top family medicine departments in the country.
