Evan Saulino, M.D., PhD
PCPCH Clinical Advisor
Oregon Health Authority PCPCH Program
Dr. Saulino is a family physician in Portland, Oregon, at a "safety-net" residency teaching clinic, where approximately half of his patients have private insurance, and half receive Medicaid or are uninsured. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California - San Diego, and his medical degree and PhD in Microbiology from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. In addition to seeing patients in the clinic, he works on a variety of health policy, advocacy, and communications issues with groups such as the Oregon Academy of Family Physicians, as well as with legislators in Oregon and nationally. Through his position at the Providence Center for Outcomes Research and Education (CORE), Dr. Saulino acts as the clinical advisor for the PCPCH program, working to bridge the gap between policy and practice.
