Name: Norris Kamo, MD Year: PGY 1 Hometown: Irvine, CA Hobbies/outside interests: Going to live concerts, exploring new restaurants, snowboarding, traveling, running, biking, reading, keeping up to date on health policy Medical School: Harvard Medical School Continuity Clinic Site: Revere Health Center Why I came to the MGH primary care program: In addition to unparalleled clinical training and a strong commitment to primary care, MGH has an amazing array of resources available to those interested in careers combining health systems improvement, health policy, quality and safety. The program has a strong track record of producing physician leaders across the country. What I love about the MGH primary care program: The additional layer of support in the form of fantastic teachers, leaders and administrators, awesome colleagues to work with, and a great outpatient experience at my community health center. Future plans: A career combining clinical practice, primary care innovation, health policy, and quality improvement Email: nkamo@partners.org Name: D. Clay Ackerly, MD, MSc Year: PGY 2 Hometown: Washington, DC Hobbies/outside interests: Tennis, squash, rowing, exploring Boston. Medical School: Duke University School of Medicine Continuity Clinic Site: MGH Senior Health Why I came to the MGH primary care program: In short, community and mentorship. I joined the primary care program a little late, switching in from the categorical program as a junior resident. Over the course of my intern year, my interest in primary care geriatrics grew, and the ability to explore this interest with more focus and guidance was appealing. What I love about the MGH primary care program: While still new to the program, I have already greatly enjoyed and benefited from this diverse and impressive community-within-a-community. Future plans: Clinical geriatrics and health services research/administration. Email: dackerly@partners.org Name: Allen Chang, MD Year: PGY 2 Hometown: Westborough, MA Hobbies/outside interests: Music, tennis, biking, friends, and sleeping. Medical School: University of Massachusetts Continuity Clinic Site: Revere Health Center Why I came to the MGH primary care program: The MGH primary care program has the full rigor of a categorical program, yet it offers additional opportunities for the development of skills relevant to healthcare in the outpatient setting. What I love about the MGH primary care program: My fellow primary care residents are all phenomenally fun, interesting, and down-to-earth individuals, and we all share a common desire to give back to the communities around us. Additionally, the primary care program serves as family with the larger MGH program, providing a nurturing environment for growth and personal development. Future plans: Clinician Educator and Primary Care Medicine Email: achang10@partners.org
Name: Garrett Chinn, MD Year: PGY 2 Hometown: San Jose, CA Hobbies/outside interests: Running, "The Office," siesta, eating food that isn't good for me (the more unhealthy the better), and techno-gadgetry. Medical School: Georgetown University Continuity Clinic Site: Internal Medicine Associates Why I came to the MGH primary care program: Strong and discrete program leadership and organization at MGH, balanced emphasis on ambulatory care What I love about the MGH primary care program: Strong camaraderie between the primary care residents, abundance of wonderful mentorship and incredible training and career support. Future plans: I am interested in primary care, infectious diseases, and how technology can improve health care in the ambulatory setting. I plan to pursue either a general medicine or infectious disease fellowship, and hope to be a clinician educator. Email: gchinn@partners.org Name: Joe Joyner, MD Year: PGY 2 Hometown: San Juan, PR Hobbies/outside interests: Outside of the hospital I enjoy reading, going to the gym, and generally exploring the greater Boston area. Medical School: Boston University Continuity Clinic Site: Chelsea Health Center Why I came to the MGH primary care program: I came to the primary care program because I was, and still am, convinced that it would offer me the training and guidance necessary to become the best primary care physician I could possibly be. What I love about the MGH primary care program: I love the fact that we are a community within a community. That within the vast expanse that is MGH there is a smaller group of people that share many of my interests and goals. I also enjoy the company of my fellow PC residents immensely. Being surrounded by such phenomenal people makes my time in the hospital that much more enjoyable. Future plans: I plan on molding a career that combines both caring for underserved populations as a PCP, and international health. Email: jjoyner@partners.org Name: Meghan Kiefer Year: PGY 2 Hometown: Seattle, WA Hobbies/outside interests: I fit the Seattle stereotype pretty well—I love running, backpacking, knitting, reading anything from post-modern novels to US Weekly, and of course, coffee. But my favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband and our two year-old, Liam. Medical School: University of Washington Continuity Clinic Site: Internal Medicine Associates Why I came to the MGH primary care program: I wanted to come to MGH because I think of it as the New York of residency programs. It’s fast-paced, full of action, lots of characters and little sleep. Being in a place that people from all over the world come for their care—from the Middle East to the local homeless shelter— is an amazing experience. I chose the MGH primary care program because I wanted excellent training in ambulatory medicine and the opportunity to work with clinicians who are leaders in quality improvement, medical education, and health care policy. What I love about the MGH primary care program: The sense of a community within a larger community. We have twice-annual primary care retreats, we have monthly dinners with a variety of speakers (and excellent food). I feel I have every advantage afforded to the categorical interns and more: more mentoring, more experiences, dare I say… more fun! Future plans: I plan to work as a clinician-educator and teach medical students and residents, and I also have an interest in health literacy. Email: mkiefer@partners.org
