Megan Aylor
Megan is a native of the Pacific Northwest and completed medical school at OHSU. She ventured to the east coast for residency training, followed by a chief year, at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She was delighted to return to OHSU as a pediatric hospitalist and medical educator. Megan has an interest in patient safety, team communication, and quality improvement, and worked for many years as an APD and medical director before taking on the PD role. Megan loves being a pediatric residency program director, as she finds working with pediatric trainees and being part of their professional development rewarding beyond measure. 

When not at work, Megan loves dancing, hiking the beautiful Pacific Northwest trails, traveling, eating good food, and playing games with her husband and two daughters.

Associate Program Directors

Sarah Green
Sarah is an Oregon native and a graduate of OHSU medical school and our beloved residency program. She spent a year as chief before joining the pediatric hospitalists and becoming an associate program director for the Pediatric Residency Program.

Sarah loves the teamwork that comes with taking care of patients with students and residents, and is committed to making all feel included. She has been known to inadvertently delay rounds while socializing with all the friendly faces on the wards and does her best to teach while taking thoughtful care of children and their families. Her role as associate program director is a wonderful complement, allowing her to have input on resident education as well as the opportunity to support and coach an incredible group of smart, kind, hard-working humans. She is the chair of the Residency Competency Committee, which works to ensure that every resident is successful. She is grateful for her feisty and dedicated colleagues and can assure you there has never been a boring team meeting!

Sarah loves being a mom to kids ranging in age 3-23 years and is happiest when she and her husband can corral all 4 for a trip, a hike or even just dinner!  She attempts to garden with her littlest kids, falls asleep reading fiction on the regular, chases after scooters and bikes like a pro, and really appreciates good coffee.

Devlynne “Sasha” Ondusko
Sasha joined the faculty as a Neonatologist at OHSU in 2022 and joined the residency leadership as an associate program director for the pediatric residency in 2023. She first moved to America for medical school, after completing her undergraduate degree in Nursing in Ontario, Canada. She completed medical school in Milwaukee, WI, and moved out to Portland for residency and fell in love with the PNW. Sasha’s scholarship focuses on health equity specifically identifying inequities (secondary to the social construct of race, rurality and resource deprivation, and language discordance), understanding their driving forces, and working to mitigate these inequities.

Sasha grew up in a few different countries but now calls Portland home. She’s is an avid runner, biker, and snowboarder and spends most of her non-clinical/non-scholarship time outside with her wife, son, and 85lb poodle.

Beth Torwekar
Beth is a pediatric hospitalist at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and joined the residency leadership team as an Associate Program Director in 2025. Originally from the East Coast, she attended medical school at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Residency and chief residency at UCSF brought her west—and she’s now firmly rooted in the Pacific Northwest. Before joining Doernbecher, she spent six years as a hospitalist and pediatric education director at Randall Children’s Hospital, working closely with learners from across the region.

Beth finds real joy in clinical teaching and is especially excited to support curriculum development in her new role. Whether on service or teaching classrooms or workshops, she learns from residents every day and feels lucky to be part of their journey.

Outside the hospital, Beth enjoys endurance sports like marathons and triathlons—though these days, chasing her two young sons and two spirited dogs is the biggest endurance event of all. She and her partner spend a lot of time exploring the trails of Southwest Portland and Council Crest Park as a family.

Melissa Weddle
Melissa has been faculty at OHSU since 2010, serving as continuity clinic director and associate pediatric program director. She is an East Coast transplant who grew up in Virginia and has practiced in Maryland, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Washington prior to coming to OHSU. She has worked in varied primary care settings, including federally qualified health centers, private practice, and an academic clinic. At OHSU, Melissa has embraced the opportunities for scholarship and education in ethics, compassionate communication, and adolescent health. Opportunities to teach both within and outside the clinical setting, continually learn from those around her, and listen to residents and colleagues to figure out how to make our program ever better are what make her job rewarding.  

Melissa has a writer-scientist-teacher husband and two grown-up children who live too far away. Outside of medicine, she loves movies with subtitles, food with spice, and hikes with views. She is a dog person. And a cat person.

Jodi Leonard, Residency Program Education Manager
Jodi has dedicated over 25 years to the educational mission of the OHSU Department of Pediatrics and the institution’s graduate medical education community. In 2021, she was honored with the ACGME Debra L. Dooley GME Program Coordinator Excellence Award for her outstanding contributions. As Residency Education Manager, she has found a perfect fit for her nurturing spirit, bringing proactive organization, creative thinking, and steady optimism to the role. She feels fortunate to work with a compassionate leadership team and is continually inspired by the residents she supports. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling with her family, spending time outdoors, and relaxing with games and crafts.

Michael Grubbs, Pediatric Residency Program Technician
Mike was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and moved to Portland for college, where he earned a degree in theology. After graduation, he got married and moved across the country to live in Big Apple (NYC). It was there that he started working in GME, as the fellowship coordinator for the Gastroenterology Fellowship Program at the Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center. After eight years of long daily commuting and having two wonderful children, Mike and his family moved back to the great Pacific Northwest where the air is fresh and clean. In 2015, he was hired at OHSU as the program coordinator for the Pediatric Residency Program. It is here that he found true happiness working with all the wonderful residents and caring program staff. In his current role as residency program technician, Mike enjoys taking care of the day-to-day operations of the program, and always makes sure the resident lounge is supplied with tasty snacks.  

Mike now live across the river in Vancouver, Washington, with his wife Julie, son Nolan (age 10) and daughter Lily (age 6). Outside of work, he loves spending time with his children in the outdoors, making fresh sourdough bread with his wife, and raising chickens (he has recently started bartering eggs for coffee beans!!).

Chief Residents

Brett Boyer
Brett was born and raised in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, attended the University of Michigan for undergrad, and then Rush Medical College for medical school. He finally broke out of the Midwest to come to OHSU for residency. He first experienced OHSU as a visiting sub-I and was immediately sold after he experienced the welcoming atmosphere and awesome residents they raised. He strives to cultivate that same environment at OHSU that brought him here in the first place.

He is very excited to work with residents and students this year as one of the chief residents along with his friends, Jaide and Jacob. His clinical interests are in Pediatric Nephrology and he is applying this cycle to fellowships. He is excited to work in the newborn nursery and general pediatrics clinic this year as part of his clinical duties as chief.

When not in the hospital, he enjoys running, walking his dog, watching college or professional sports, spending time with his wife in the PNW outdoors, and exploring new breweries and coffee shops around Portland!

Jacob Corpron
Jacob was raised in the mountains of Northwest Montana. He completed his undergraduate studies in Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Montana State University before attending OHSU School of Medicine, where he went on to finish his Pediatrics Residency. He now considers Portland his home, and spends his time biking around the city, exploring new restaurants and food carts, and spending time with his partner and two cats.

He is honored to serve as a Chief resident this year with Brett and Jaide, and is passionate about ensuring residents are well supported and enjoy the residency experience as much as he did. Clinically you can find him on the wards, in clinic, and the newborn nursery.

Jaide Farr
Jaide grew up in Oregon and completed a bachelor degree in cultural anthropology and chemistry.  After medical school, Jaide was privileged to complete her pediatric training in her home state at OHSU and is honored to continue building her clinical and educational skills as a Chief Resident with Brett and Jacob this year.

Clinically, she will split her time between the general pediatrics clinic and the hospitalist service.  She is passionate about helping residents feel supported while protecting their graduated autonomy, which she feels is one of the residency program's biggest strengths.  She also finds fulfillment engaging in advocacy efforts, including as an active participant in the Oregon Pediatric Society’s Advocacy Committee.

Outside of work, Jaide enjoys exploring local shops (especially any bookstore!) and finding any time to get outside with friends, whether it is hiking, camping, snowboarding, or just a walk in the park.
