Calcagno Pediatrics is an independent, physician owned practice in Gresham, Oregon located next to the Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center.  We are seeking a friendly BC/BE pediatrician to join our team this year, with an additional opening developing when we expand our office next year.  We practice evidence based medicine, have a sane vaccine policy and avoid unnecessary antibiotic use.  Our awesome staff is empowered to make patients feel appreciated, and respected.  While patient care is the priority, finding the work life balance is important to us. Laughter rings through the office multiple times a day.  It’s a great place to work.

Our pediatricians live in Portland (Irvington and Laurelhurst neighborhoods) as well as Gresham/Troutdale.  City life or country life, your choice!  Year round skiing on Mount Hood, hiking, fishing and every sort of outdoor activity is close by, since we are at the mouth of the magnificent Columbia River Gorge.  Heading west, Pacific Ocean beaches are two hours away.

Our current electronic medical record system is Athena Health Clinicals which is a web based system.  Our pediatricians work four days a week and 18 patients a day is typical, although the more ambitious could see 25 a day if desired.  We schedule 30 minute WCCs and med checks and take the time to take excellent care of our diverse patient population.  Our office is open 9am to 7pm M-Th, 9-5pm Friday and 9-2pm Saturdays.  Pediatricians see patients until 7pm one day a week and work one Saturday a month.  The office is closed on Sundays and all major holidays. 

Call ranges from 1:4 to 1:8 as we are currently sharing with another small local office.  We have no pediatric admissions: all patients go to one of the two excellent children’s hospitals in Portland, generally via their pediatric emergency departments.  We’re accepting babies born at multiple hospitals, but we only see the healthy newborns delivered right next door at LMHMC.  The Family Birth Center has trained nurse resuscitators and a direct link to the NICU for all high risk deliveries.  We take over care of these newborns if they stay on site at our hospital.

We at Calcagno Pediatrics believe in medial research.  We are currently participating in 6 FDA trials though Cyn3rgy Research, a sister company.  We are proud to say we just completed the Phizer covid study for 6mo-age 5, and we are currently recruiting babies for the Prevnar 24 study. 

Join our team of 6 providers, we are open to flex hours, part time or full time.  Board eligibility as a minimum, with Board certification within two years of employment. We offer a competitive compensation package, and benefits.
