Planned Parenthood of Oregon & Southwest Washington (PPOSW) is seeking physicians (MD/DO) to provide specialty services on a contract basis at our health centers across Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Location

• Portland, OR or Eugene, OR area, with travel to other PPOSW health centers as needed.
• Position Type: Independent Contractor | Scheduled Clinical Sessions
• Compensation: To be determined based on experience and services provided.

About the Role

At PPOSW, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality sexual and reproductive health care, regardless of where they live.

• We're seeking experienced physicians to provide one or more of the following specialty services:
• Procedural abortion care, including aspiration abortion and dilation and evacuation (D&E)

• We are especially interested in physicians with experience in:
• Abortion care, particularly D&E at 18 weeks gestation and beyond
• Vasectomy

Complex Gynecology

This is a clinical-only, independent contractor opportunity. Contract physicians provide direct patient care during scheduled clinical sessions under PPOSW protocols, standing orders, and privileging requirements, consistent with Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) Medical Standards and Guidelines.

The role reports to the Associate Medical Director, Specialty Services, for clinical oversight and does not include supervisory, training, administrative, or committee responsibilities.

What You'll Do

Depending on your training, experience, and clinical privileges, responsibilities may include:

Provide specialty services during scheduled clinical sessions, within the procedures and gestational limits for which you are privileged

Complete pre-procedure evaluations, including patient history, ultrasound, laboratory review, medical eligibility, and risk assessment

Perform procedures, including cervical preparation, pain management, and moderate sedation in partnership with nursing staff and in accordance with PPOSW policies

Recognize and manage complications, including stabilization and transfer when indicated under established protocols

• Provide compassionate, nonjudgmental, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care, using interpreters as needed
• Complete accurate, timely documentation in the electronic health record (EHR)
• Follow applicable clinical protocols, safety standards, and credentialing requirements

Location & Scheduling

• Physicians may be based in either the Portland, Oregon or Eugene, Oregon area.
• Contract physicians provide care during scheduled clinical sessions at assigned PPOSW health centers, which may include locations in:
• Portland metro and Vancouver, Washington
• Eugene and Springfield, Oregon
• Medford, Oregon
• Salem, Oregon
• Bend, Oregon
• Ontario, Oregon

Travel between health centers, including occasional overnight travel, may be required depending on clinical needs and scheduled assignments.

Scheduling and the frequency of clinical sessions will be discussed individually based on physician availability, specialty services offered, and organizational needs.

This is an independent contractor arrangement, not a regular PPOSW employee position.

What We're Looking For

• Required Qualifications
• Medical degree (MD or DO)

Board Eligible or Board Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology, Family Medicine, Urology, or another specialty with documented training in the services provided

Documented training and current competency in one or more of the specialty services listed above, with case logs and references sufficient for clinical privileging

Preferred Qualifications

Dedicated training and current competency in dilation and evacuation (D&E) to 18 weeks gestation, with a strong preference for experience up to 26 weeks

Experience with Minimal and Moderate Procedural Sedation

• Experience providing specialty services in an outpatient health center setting, including at a Planned Parenthood affiliate
• Fellowship training in Complex Family Planning or equivalent experience
• Washington medical license
• Spanish language proficiency

Compensation & Contract Arrangement

Compensation will be determined based on physician experience, specialty services provided, and the terms of the independent contractor agreement.

This is an independent contractor opportunity rather than a salaried or hourly employee position. Clinical session schedules, compensation, and other contractual terms will be discussed with qualified candidates.

Why Work With PPOSW?

Help bring essential specialty care closer to the patients who need it.

At Planned Parenthood of Oregon & Southwest Washington, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality, compassionate sexual and reproductive health care, regardless of where they live.

Contract physicians play an important role in expanding access to specialty services across our region, including for patients who must travel significant distances for care and those coming from states where abortion and reproductive health care are restricted.

You'll work alongside experienced, mission-driven health center teams committed to reproductive justice, health equity, and trauma-informed care.

Your expertise can make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients who might otherwise face significant barriers to receiving the care they need.
