2026-2027 Advanced Practice Clinician Fellowships
The Multnomah County Community Health Center is proud to introduce its fifth cohort fellowship program, furthering its commitment to providing comprehensive primary care for diverse, low-income patients, with an emphasis on the structured one-year clinical training model. The program is looking for a minimum of five fellows.
Health Center Services and Mission
The center is the largest public Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Oregon, serving 75,000 patients in the past two years. We offer comprehensive primary, dental, pharmacy, and integrated behavioral health care services across multiple locations, and serve over 100 languages/dialects. We are committed to health equity, serving patients regardless of their ability to pay, with most living at or below the federal poverty line.
Fellowship Program Structure
The one-year clinical training program supports both Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants, embedding fellows into a single care team to facilitate the transition from academia to practice within an FQHC setting. Fellows start out shadowing then ramp up to managing a panel of 200 patients by program's end, with clinical supervision provided by the site medical director.
Training Expectations and Timeline
The 40-hour work week includes one day dedicated to administrative tasks and internal didactic lectures focused on patient-specific issues and resources. We expect a minimum of five fellowship placements, with applications closing on May 15th and virtual interviews scheduled between June 1st and June 11th.
