Tyler Denman, MD – Chief Resident
I came here because I was drawn by the tightknit group of residents and for the broad spectrum of diseases as well as the more specialized cardiac training at this center. During my three years of residency, I have enjoyed teaching and found myself staying late in the resident lounge, just talking to the interns. I’m excited to begin my journey as chief resident and hope to continue to develop as a teacher and improve the residency program. Outside of the hospital, you can find me at the gym or gaming hard!
Phuong-Quang Lam, MD – Chief Resident
After completing my medical education at New York Medical College, I was drawn to the program at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco by the camaraderie between the residents that I witnessed on my interview day here as well as the chance to train and practice in an integrated health care system. My three years here were filled with many wonderful memories, exceptional clinical training, and support from an amazing GME team. I am honored to have the opportunity to stay onboard another year to help train the next group of residents, uphold the remarkable culture of the program, and continue to hone my skills as a physician. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my wife, exploring the Bay Area, and going on hikes with my co-chief Tyler.
