Frequently asked questions
In Silverton, this outpatient-focused physician role emphasizes managing patient communications, routine follow-ups, and urgent care cases, which helps expand access at rural clinics. Unlike standard primary care jobs, it involves balancing direct patient visits with supporting the broader care team to optimize schedules and improve local healthcare delivery.
Candidates must hold an Oregon NP or PA license with prescriptive privileges and maintain current BLS certification from the American Heart Association. These credentials ensure compliance with regional regulations and enable effective management of outpatient care in clinics serving Silverton and nearby communities.
Many believe outpatient roles are less demanding, but in rural clinics like those near Silverton, providers juggle urgent care, routine management, and electronic communications simultaneously. This dynamic environment requires adaptability and strong clinical skills to maintain high patient satisfaction and workflow efficiency.
Legacy Health provides a comprehensive benefits package including competitive salaries, relocation assistance, CME allowances, and malpractice coverage. Their nonprofit mission focuses on community wellness, offering a supportive environment that many larger for-profit employers may not match, especially in rural outpatient settings.
The pay ranges from approximately $32.56 to $212.18 per hour, reflecting flexible full-time equivalents and the rural special location stipend. This competitive salary aligns well with regional outpatient healthcare wages, accounting for the unique responsibilities and rural setting in Silverton, Oregon.

This strategy enhances appointment availability and streamlines patient management, directly benefiting access and satisfaction in outpatient clinics around Silverton.
