Dr. Michael Hutchens is an Assistant Professor in
the Department of Anesthesiology and Peri-Operative
Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University
(OHSU). He also serves as an Attending Intensivist
in the Cardiac and Surgical Intensive Care Unit.
His current research interests involve ischemic
renal failure. He is particularly interested in the
profound sexual dimorphism in incidence and outcome
of ischemic renal failure and the consequential
implications for intervention.
Dr. Hutchens
originally planned a career as a professor of
English, receiving the baccalaureate degree at
Oberlin College. While studying for the Master of
Arts in literature at Binghamton University,
however, he became focused on medicine. He
subsequently completed premedical studies at Goucher
College and entered the University of Maryland where
he earned his medical degree. After finishing a
residency in Anesthesiology at OHSU, Dr. Hutchens
trained as a fellow in Critical Care Medicine at
Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, before
returning to OHSU in July 2005.
When he is not at the hospital, Dr. Hutchens
enjoys gardening, bird-watching and playing cricket
with his family. |
