Program Leadership

The OHSU Internal Medicine Residency Program leadership is comprised of faculty from both the OHSU Hospital and the Portland VA Medical Center.  Program leadership currently consists of:

• Program Director - Dr. Sima Desai
• Vice Chair for Education - Dr. Thomas Cooney
• Associate Program Directors (5) - Dr. Andrea Cedfeldt, Dr. Stephanie Halvorson, Dr. Joseph Hardman, Dr. Alan Hunter, Dr. Melissa Nyendak
• Chief Residents (4) - Dr. André Mansoor, Dr. Adam Obley, Dr. Patty Ritze, Dr. Brian Wheeler

The program leadership meets weekly to discuss any operational or educational issues and make program changes and improvements when necessary.  Program Directors and Chief Residents teach on the General Medicine Wards at OHSU Hospital and the Portland VA Medical Center and at various conferences and sessions.

Each resident is linked to an Associate Program Director during their training in our program.  Residents meet with their core Program Director bi-annually to review their educational progress and plan out their career pathway.
