Kara Castro

Supervising Program Coordinator Family Medicine Residency

Kara brings a depth of experience to her complex role as our new Supervising Program Coordinator in 2023 after Mike Holt retired after 18 years in the role. Kara has worked for Providence over 25 years.  She began as a Medical Assistant at Providence North Portland in 1997, then became the residency’s Southeast Clinic Office Coordinator in 2001, just a month before the first residents began. Her knowledge and skills grew with the residency, and she remains the liaison between the residency and the two clinics.  Her attention to detail is astounding. She is a wizard at managing Epic, resident rotations, elective scheduling, evaluations, ACGME hours requirements, and coordination and managing the clinic and call schedules. Her skill in making our longitudinal schedules is exceptional and helps us be a highly functioning group, despite the complexity. Kara enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, planning girls weekends, baking, and going on fun adventures with her husband.
