The opportunities for residents training within the OHSU Three Sisters Rural Track Program will be centered within a rich family medicine community and a vibrant, culturally diverse, rural population in Central Oregon. The first year will take place in Portland, where residents will be placed at one of two of OHSU’s primary care clinics. The subsequent two years will be in Central Oregon at one of three continuity clinics; St. Charles Madras Family CareMosaic Medical Madras, and Indian Health Services (IHS) Warm Springs. The greater Madras community includes the Warm Springs Reservation which includes tribal members of Paiute, Warm Springs and Wasco descent.
