Residency Program
About the Program
One Community Health has the honor of being the continuity site for the Providence Hood River Rural Residency Program.
Our resident doctors have all completed four years of medical school and have chosen to specialize in family medicine. Their continued training consists of three years in Hood River and Portland where they learn to take care of patients of all ages—everything from taking care of pregnant women to delivering babies, caring for newborns, children, and adults, plus providing end-of-life care. At One Community Health, these residents serve as primary care physicians under the supervision of our experienced doctors.
The Providence Rural Family Medicine Residency Program was founded by Dr. Robert Gobbo, one of One Community Health’s veteran clinicians. In addition to his clinical duties with us and at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, Dr. Gobbo is the residency director, supervising the trainees in clinic and in the hospital.

Benefits of seeing a resident
Residents are doctors who have recently graduated from medical school and are now training to be a particular type of doctor.
Residency is a step in every doctor's medical career where they get to work under the supervision of exceptionally skilled doctors and specialists.
Seeing a resident offers a team approach to patient care; residents are supervised by multiple physicians so there is always a collaborative approach to care directives.
Residents offer longer appointment times allowing more face-to-face with their patients.
Residents have smaller panels allowing more availability in their schedules and more personalized care for their patients.
During a visit with a resident, a patient always has the right to ask to see the supervising physician.
