Grant Botker, M.D.University of Minnesota Medical SchoolGrant grew up on a farm outside Clinton, MN. A difficult child, he made life challenging for his parents culminating in being grounded from just after his 14th until his 16th birthday. During that period something clicked and he began working toward his goal of becoming a physician. He’s been riding the coattails of his high school success ever since.His college years brought him to Northwestern University in Evanston, IL where he developed some bad habits. He is the first to admit that he spent too much time partying and not enough studying (although he did become a master of the all-nighter). Ultimately he learned some valuable lessons the hard way. Still determined to become a physician, he spent the next three years righting some wrongs from his college days and proving to medical school admission committees that he was fully capable of going hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt while living the life of a hermit. He never realized he was a masochist. Grant attended medical school at the University of Minnesota. While there he took an extra year to work on Cryptococcal Meningitis research in (Kampala) Uganda, tricked MS1s into thinking he knew about human anatomy as a TA, and learned a lot about life in general. As he heads west with his Welsh Corgi, Hunter, his long held dream of becoming a physician will finally be realized. He is extremely excited to be joining the wonderful people at Cascades East where he will prepare for a life in international and rural medicine. Greg Burnett, M.D.University of Arizona College of Medicine PhoenixGreg was born in Cottonwood, Arizona, a place largely unknown, yet marginally recognizable for its proximity to the touristy Sedona. Highlights from his childhood include frequent stick fights, mud fights, and accidentally starting a forest fire with a rocket. Growing up, his dream was to become a veterinarian, so he diligently pursued this goal by capturing unwilling wild animals and forcing them to be his pets. However, he was fired from his vet assistant job at age fifteen for his poor mopping skills, his inadvertent temporary loss of a boarded dog, and his accidental flooding of half the office building. He then decided to pursue human medicine, earning an undergraduate degree at Arizona State University (frequently known as “Harvard of the West”), and an MD from the University of Arizona. Greg came to Klamath Falls for its good women and better restaurants, eager to experience the region’s frigid winters in trade for the seven months of eyeball searing summer heat he was accustomed to in Arizona. His post-residency plans include practicing full-spectrum family medicine in a rural area with plenty of time to fish, hunt, and camp with his amazing dog Blue.Siobhan Cooper, M.D.University of Arkansas College of MedicineSiobhan comes to Klamath Falls by way of Chicago, Montreal, Utah, Chapel Hill-North Carolina, Colorado (several times), Central Oregon, back to North Carolina (Asheville this time) and most recently Little Rock-Arkansas. Siobhan was born & raised in the city of Chicago and attended public schools until college when she ventured to our friendly northern neighbors and attended McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. International work and travel, cultural diversity and spending ample time in the wilderness have always been an important part of her life. Her parents are responsible for helping her to develop her sense of social responsibility by taking the family on many eye opening international trips as a child. However, Siobhan developed her need for the wilderness mostly on her own. She fell in love with the West in the third grade on a family vacation touring the national parks and since that time has done all she can to spend as much time as possible in nature. Medicine and public health have been a personal and professional passion for much of her life. She began her career in health as a staff member at a youth psychotherapy program, and then went on to pursue her MPH at UNC-Chapel Hill. After receiving her MPH she worked as a health educator with Latino farmworkers and as a community advocate on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Oregon. While in Oregon, Siobhan met her partner Liam (a Colorado native) at Suttle Lake in Sisters, Oregon. For the past five years they have lived in the south pursuing their respective degrees in medicine and geology. Siobhan and Liam are excited to return to the state that they love and Siobhan is excited to begin her career in family medicine.Courtney Hayashi, M.D.Baylor College of MedicineCourtney Hayashi grew up in Los Gatos, California and spent her childhood violating child labor laws on her parents’ fruit tree farm each summer. In payment she was spoiled with an overabundance of tree ripe fruit and vegetables, local hiking trails, family skiing and backpacking trips, and an amazingly supportive family. She spent the eight years after high school contemplating the sheer magnitude of cement, traffic, and crowds in Houston while attending Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine. Courtney enjoys traveling and international medicine and spent time during med school in a Pakistani hospital doing medicine and surgery. After completing her surgery prelim year in Oakland, CA, Courtney found herself missing the variety of family medicine and decided to come to Cascades East to train as a family doc. She spends her spare time cycling, running, skiing, and backpacking with her husband, Chad, and has also been spotted around town riding a homemade, human-powered kinetic sculpture. She is enjoying life in Klamath Falls and looks forward to practicing in a rural area, and possibly internationally, after residency.Jinnell Lewis, M.D.Oregon Health & Science University School of MedicineJinnell grew up in Bellingham, WA with her five brothers. She told everyone starting at a young age that she wanted to be a doctor. She ventured south to McMinnville, OR to attend Linfield College (home of the Wildcats D3 National Champion football team), where she kept busy studying biology, cheerleading the Wildcats to big victories, leading the Circle K community service club, attending various Alpha Phi sorority functions, and studying abroad in Granada, Spain. After college she moved to Portland to work at OHSU as a research study coordinator in Uveitis Genetics while volunteering in the ER and at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Two years later, she was accepted to their medical school. Over the past four years, Jinnell followed her passion for women’s health by participating in various interest groups and focused clinical rotations. She also volunteered on two medical mission trips to Antigua, Guatemala with several gynecological and general surgeons from Portland, completing a medical intensive Spanish course in Costa Rica. In her limited free time during medical school, she enjoyed horseback riding, hiking, going to rodeos (especially The Pendleton Round-Up), frequenting the Portland country bars for free dance lessons, snowboarding, billiards, and playing as much volleyball as possible. She fell in love with rural medicine during a rotation in Burns, OR and at Salud Clinica in Woodburn, OR and is looking forward to training in Klamath Falls where she can keep up on her Spanish skills and get excellent OB training for her future practice—somewhere in Oregon.Holly Montjoy, M.D.The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina UniversityOnce upon a time...Holly Montjoy was born and raised in small-town Robbins, North Carolina. She very much enjoyed the backwoods fun and down-to-earth folks that the country had to offer and knew that one day she would want to return to a rural environment. She pursued her interest in Medicine at East Carolina University where she learned how to balance the life of a pre-med with the life of a pirate! Unable to shed her pirate ways, she stayed at ECU for medical school and continued to live the dream. During her fourth year she completed an acting internship here at Cascades East and knew then that this program is very "special." She experienced an incredible amount of autonomy, support, and warmth and despite interviewing at Family Medicine programs across the country she and her partner knew that their hearts were here in KFalls. Even now, as she types this bio, in third person from the call room in Sky Lakes Medical Center, she is thrilled to be a part of such an amazing team of physicians. When she's not typing about herself you can find Holly with her partner, Brittany, and their two angels Preston Chompers and Rose Petal hiking the hills in Pacific Terrace or partaking in "Beer Rounds" at the Creamery Brewpub. She welcomes any emails you may have about what it's like as an intern and hopes you'll consider Cascades East in your quest for happily ever after. The end. Ian Panuncialman, M.D.Univ of East/Ramon Magsaysay Mem Med CtrIan hails from the Philippines. He grew up in Metro Manila, the country's largest metropolitan area. However, his interests are diverse and also include activities that are far from the city. Growing up he was always involved in sports and actively participated in school organizations. Ian enjoys running, biking, and playing basketball. He completed a degree in Pharmacy, and also had a brief stint teaching college biochemistry. Ian joins the program with prior training in orthopedics and now would like to complement this by learning to provide comprehensive care to patients of all ages, all genders, addressing acute and chronic medical problems and learning how to practice medicine in a rural community. Ian was accompanied to Klamath Falls by his wife, Jaymie, and their seven year old son, Luigi, and is looking forward to exploring this new and exciting chapter in their lives.Kelly Patterson, M.D.Michigan State University College of Human MedicineKelly was born in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming: home of mountains, sagebrush, wind, and snow all in large quantities and where antelope outnumber people. At the age of eight, she moved to the “big city” of Klamath Falls, Oregon. While growing up, she enjoyed horseback riding, pursuing her love of art, and singing in her school choir. After graduating from high school, she attended the University of Oregon in Eugene and majored in biology (Go Ducks!). With her love of the outdoors and science, she toyed with the idea of being a zoo veterinarian, a marine zoologist, or a physician. Her interest in helping people finally won out, and she decided to go to medical school. Wanting a break, she took a year off in between undergraduate and medical studies to work in a research lab studying the effects of natural products on the immune system. She then attended the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and enjoyed all aspects of medicine, with her love of a small town lifestyle spurring her to pursue a career in rural Family Medicine. With her family still living in Klamath Falls, the Cascades East Family Medicine Residency Program provided the perfect opportunity for her to return to her Oregon roots and the land of mountains and sunshine that she loves. She enjoys many aspects of Family Medicine, including preventive medicine and caring for children and the elderly. Outside of medicine she enjoys the outdoors, horseback riding, hiking, yoga, puzzles, reading, music, and art.Eric Scrivner, M.D.University of Minnesota Medical SchoolEric was born and raised in Bigfork, MN, a town of about 400 people in the North Woods of Minnesota. After moving east to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he decided that he never wanted to live in a big city again. He then promptly moved to Atlanta, GA for two years of service with AmeriCorps. There he discovered the two loves of his life: his wife, Yasmin, and fly fishing. Eric returned to the Midwest to attend the University of Minnesota Medical School-Duluth, where he spent four years chasing steelhead and muskies in local rivers with his fly rod and earned an M.D. along the way. After cross-referencing fly fishing destinations with high-quality rural family medicine residencies, he discovered Cascades East and is thrilled to be in Klamath Falls, OR. His professional interests include full-spectrum rural and frontier family medicine, wilderness medicine, and sports medicine. Outside of work, Eric likes to spend time with his wife, fish, hunt, backpack, run trails, keep numerous aquariums, and play traditional West African drums. |
