About ProvidenceReady Oregon
ProvidenceReady was started in Portland, Oregon in 2002 as a way for high school students to gain exposure to interesting and less well-known careers in the medical field. Since then, it has evolved to encompass our School Affiliations team, our Internships program, and Career Exploration.
We prepare the future generation of health care workers by introducing them to career opportunities and helping them discover their passion all while learning the skills to succeed.
ProvidenceReady Oregon is committed to engaging our community through events that serve our underprivileged schools, and experiences that give preference to first generation students. We aim to serve a diverse population, and to form a program that proves being a health care professional is possible for anyone, no matter their background or resources. We are passionate about creating continual learning experiences for all age groups, as we believe growing and developing is a lifelong journey.
