Current Chief Residents
Eric Pohlen, D.O.
Dr. Eric Pohlen was born in Denver, Colorado, and grew up in a small town called Larkspur, Colorado. He received his undergraduate degree from Colorado State University and his medical degree from Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine. As a big backpacker and outdoors enthusiast, he was excited to match out here in Portland, Oregon, and explore the Pacific Northwest. He is looking forward to staying an extra year as Chief Medical Resident to help support, mentor, and teach his fellow residents, as well as experiencing life as a hospitalist. In his free time, you can catch him going on some hikes, skiing, playing tennis, or rooting for the Denver Broncos.
Ryan Stiegler, D.O.
Dr. Ryan Stiegler was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and grew up in Bend, Oregon. He received his undergraduate degree at Oregon State University before going on to complete his medical school education at Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Oregon. Staying in Oregon was a priority for him, and he was beyond excited to complete his medical training in Portland. He will be completing his pre-Chief year this year and is looking forward to stepping into Chief Medical Resident in the year following. Dr. Stiegler is interested in critical care and hospital medicine. During his free time, he enjoys spending time with his crazy German Shorthaired Pointer, lifting weights, running, exploring the PNW, and finding the best eats the city has to offer.
