DAVID CHEN, M.D.

I completed medical school at Loma Linda University in 1990, then did my Internal Medicine residency at Kettering Medicical Center in Ohio. Following a 4th year Chief residency I entered private practice for a few years before joining the Faculty at Kettering where I trained. I have been teaching there since 1997. Both my wife and I are from the Northwest, and most of our family is here, so our desire was to return home to raise our 3 children in the NW. My interest in inpatient medicine led me to join the MIS team at Multicare. I have enjoyed the interaction with the TFM residency and have found it to be very enjoyable. I also found the work environment to be both collegial and satisfying.

JAMES D. FITZ, M.D., CO-DIRECTOR MULTICARE INPATIENT SERVICE

Were I to have been in a medical school which had a Family Practice Department, I would probably have chosen this pathway (or so I like to tell myself). Since such was not the case, I chose Internal Medicine and served seven years each in the U.S. Army and Group Health Cooperative after which we began our TFM associated practice of Internal Medicine in 1991. I am currently a hospitalist/internal medicine physician with the MultiCare Inpatient Service, following eight years of private practice in conjunction with TFM. I think I’ve finally found my niche combining primary care with the education of young family physicians whom I greatly admire. I believe in delivering quality medical care and in balancing the demands implied by this belief with the need to continue to restore and minister to oneself and one’s family in these demanding times.

POLLY HABERLIN, M.D.

I joined the TFM faculty in September, 1997 following completion of my Internal Medicine internship at the V.A. Medical Center in Boise, Idaho and residency in Spokane, WA. Following nearly four years of private practice in conjunction with TFM, I have now joined the MultiCare Inpatient Service. I am originally from Western Washington. My husband John and our two children enjoy living in the Pacific Northwest.

KHOA NGUYEN, M.D.

I joined the faculty of TFM in September, 1999 as a full-time hospitalist/internal medicine physician for the MultiCare Inpatient Service with direct involvement in resident teaching. I graduated from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1996 and completed my Internal Medicine Residency training at the University of Connecticut.

KEN ONYALI, M.D.

I joined the TFM faculty in February 2002 as a hospitalist/internal medicine physician with the Multicare inpatient service. I graduated from the University of Nigeria Medical school and initially completed a surgical residency in Britain. I emigrated to the United States in 1998, and found that I had to retrain in a US residency program. I decided to retrain in Internal Medicine in Chicago because of the more satisfying patient interaction, greater intellectual stimulation and more predictable lifestyle that it offerred. I continued my westward movement by joining Multicare after completing my residency training. My wife Ada and our three children are enjoying the beauties of the Pacific Northwest.
