Eastgate Public Health is seeking a physician to join our team in a role that brings together two powerful opportunities: providing compassionate, high-quality care to underserved populations and mentoring the next generation of physicians. As a preceptor for residents, you’ll share your expertise, inspire future leaders in public health, and help shape a workforce committed to health equity all while making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and communities who need it most.

Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.

The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all – in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.

We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti‑racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
