Program Director
Mary K. “Kay” Nordling, M.D. FAAFP
“You don’t get a chance to be a pioneer very often in life. I think the partnership between OHSU and Hillsboro Medical Center has allowed us to create an innovative family medicine residency that provides the best of both worlds learning opportunities for our residents during their three years in Hillsboro.”
Associate Program Directors
Alycia Jackson, M.D.
“I’m thrilled to have the incredible opportunity to help create and cultivate this new community-based program. I love providing full spectrum care, especially to our underserved community. Working here feels like home, where everyone is family and supported. With a diverse group of faculty ready at the helm, I cannot wait to see where this program will take our future leaders of tomorrow.”
Morgan Lisner, M.D.
“I am a third generation teacher. I bring my passion for teaching to this residency, having taught residents and obstetrics fellows in two other programs. Whether in a delivery, teaching a topic, or in clinic, I strive to help my learners develop their skills. My other passion is maternal and child care. I find so much fulfillment in helping people navigate through pregnancy, such an exciting and stressful time.”
Family Medicine Faculty
Ally Bray, M.D.
“Working alongside the residents is such a joy – their curiosity and willingness to learn keeps my job engaging. They ask excellent questions, always keeping me on my toes and up to date on the latest practice changes!”
Aaron Chambers, M.D.
“There’s a lot to like about working with our residents: the curiosity, the camaraderie, the teamwork. But most importantly, I learn a lot. There’s no better way to learn than teaching, and there’s no better way to broaden your perspective than engaging a fresh mind.”
Heather Christianson, D.O.
“I am deeply passionate about full-spectrum family medicine and the privilege of following patients throughout their lives. I joined our faculty to be a part of a team that fosters curiosity and independence, and I view our residents as mutual colleagues looking to grow their skills in family medicine. Ultimately, nothing brings me more fulfillment than helping the next generation of physicians find their own unique joy within this incredible specialty.”
Andrea Janssen, M.D.
“One thing Ethiopia taught me which I hope to impart to my future resident mentees is, you can’t always heal. Even when nothing else remains, you always have yourself to give.”
Andrew Janssen, M.D.
“I love working with residents to help them better understand the joys and challenges of full-spectrum, rural family medicine.”
Nick Johnson, M.D.
“I’m beyond excited to help residents build upon their unique personal life experiences, knowledge, and strengths in order to care for our communities and become leaders in healthcare. Serving as a family doctor is a joy. Having the opportunity to follow my patients throughout their lifetime is truly a privilege. I look forward to each day growing and learning alongside my patients and their families. ”
Richard Adam Kellis, M.D.
“I love caring for multi-generational families and I’m inspired by the joy and spirit that new doctors bring to teaching clinics. I look forward to educating the next generation of family physicians.”
Marisa Wickerath, M.D.
“I love watching residents grow and gain confidence throughout residency. It’s such a challenging but rewarding part of medical training. Teaching also pushes me to be a better physician and I almost always learn something from the residents.”
