About OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital

It is why we have more specialists in children's health than anywhere else in the state. We offer the newest and most advanced treatments available, along with innovative collaborations and research opportunities.

Description

We are looking for a dynamic individual to join our growing team of 10 pediatric gastroenterologists, a pediatric psychologist, 3 Nurse Practitioners, 3 dieticians, 5 RNs and dedicated social work support.  Embracing multidisciplinary collaboration, we are actively involved in a broad range of clinical care, education and research activities.
