Alex Chang, MD – Chief Resident
Although I am a Southern California native (and a fan of all LA sports), I was very excited to match at Kaiser San Francisco for residency. I was drawn to the integrated health care model, hybrid academic/community program, and close-knit residents. As someone who was set on pursuing cardiology fellowship, I had a particular interest in the robust cardiology experience offered at Kaiser SF as we are the cardiac referral center for all of Kaiser Northern California and have an in-house fellowship with incredible fellows and attendings. This program exceeded my expectations regarding my clinical training, mentorship, and research experience. I am also grateful for the lifelong friendships created over the last three years. I am honored and humbled to be one of the chief residents this year and look forward to educating and supporting our residents as they navigate these challenging and formative years. Outside of work you can find me playing various ball + net activities (volleyball, tennis, spikeball), wandering around the Japan Center debating if I should get matcha soft serve or boba (or both!), or hanging out at home playing video games or watching a good TV show/movie.
Cynthia Chalk, MD – Chief Resident
I am a first-generation Bay Area native, born and raised in Oakland, California. I am extremely excited and honored to be one of the chief residents and especially eager to work with all the new interns as they embark on an incredible and unforgettable journey. Fun fact: I am an alumnus of the 2018 Kaiser Permanente Introduction to Integrated Healthcare (IIHC) program and am honored to continue working with this program to mentor underrepresented medical students. It’s definitely a full circle moment!
I could not have picked a better place to complete my internal medicine residency training. Our faculty and leaders here at KPSF are outstanding and extremely supportive. I truly appreciate my mentors and close-knit community that this program fosters. It’s one of the main reasons why I decided to be chief! I am fortunate to practice in a collaborative, integrated health system that places the patient first and allows for the delivery of seamless care across various settings. My interests include medical education and leadership development. While I love general internal medicine, my passion includes nephrology, specifically women’s kidney health. I enjoy working on clinical research related to health disparities and kidney disease in women and pregnancy. When I’m not at work, you can catch me on the East Bay where I live with my husband and two dogs!
