Resident Life

Resident Life

Our residents love working and playing together! Although we spend a lot of time on the wards and in the clinic, we take our time off seriously and often can be found hanging with our kids (13 in total so far between our two classes!), driving into the wilderness for a quick shed hunt (see Derek with some prize antlers on the right), or kicking back with our crochet needles, among many other cherished hobbies.

During the inaugural 2019-2020 year, the first six residents were tasked with deciding what “resident life” would look like for the brand new Full Circle Health Nampa program and creating a culture that emphasizes enjoying our non-doctor lives as much as we do our work. We took this task seriously and  planned many social activities including a Friday night potluck at resident Alyssa’s home, a traditional Indian lunch cooked by resident Sudha and her husband Vishwa, and even a virtual happy hour following our Friday afternoon didactics while socially distancing amidst the pandemic.

The greater Family Medicine Residency of Idaho – Nampa program has shown much support for our pursuit of fun, integrating many fun activities into our curriculum, including an annual afternoon of rafting (see our program director, Kim and residents Mark and Sudha in the raft on the left!) during orientation week, a summertime picnic at a local park, and clinic-wide holiday parties where we get to play “Secret Santa” with our co-workers.

Each year, our residents also pack up for a weekend of exploration, team-building, and lessons in wilderness medicine at the resident retreat. 2020 was spent two hours north of the big city in McCall, Idaho, during their annual Winter Festival. When not participating in the weekend’s scheduled activities (including the simulated wilderness rescue of resident Alyssa seen here), residents could be found flat tire biking, sledding with their kiddos, exploring downtown McCall, and participating in Scrabble championships (see resident Cate’s spouse Jacob and resident Alyssa’s spouse Phil fight for victory). In addition to our annual retreat, residents may also elect to participate in Family Medicine Residency of Idaho-wide outings such as the annual migration to Burgdorf for in-depth wilderness training, lots of winter sports, the City of Rocks for a weekend of exploring, and the Annual Full Circle Health-wide raft trip in Cascade, Idaho!

Born and raised in the scenic deserts of Grand Junction, Colorado, Dr. Ryan Roper developed a deep appreciation for service and the outdoors early in life. Before pursuing medicine, he worked as a ski patroller, wilderness therapy guide, and technical rescuer with UCSAR, reflecting his passion for helping others in high-stakes environments.

Dr. Roper earned his undergraduate degree in Emergency Services Administration and Critical Care and spent several years working as a paramedic, where his love for medicine truly took root. He went on to earn his medical degree from the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine.

With a strong commitment to rural and underserved communities, Dr. Roper is driven to expand access to high-quality, full-spectrum family medicine. He values building meaningful, long-term relationships with his patients and is especially interested in addressing healthcare disparities unique to the Pacific Northwest. His clinical interests include comprehensive family care, emergency medicine, and advancing innovative approaches to healthcare delivery.

Jace Rowley’s NameDrop

Dr. Jace Rowley is originally from Utah but spent a significant amount of time in Idaho, where much of his family resides. He attended Utah Valley University, earning a degree in Hospitality Management, which he used for several years to manage hotels at MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Jace proudly served for eight years in the U.S. Army before moving his family across the country to Clearwater, Florida to begin medical school at Nova Southeastern University KPCOM. After graduating, he felt it was time to return to the West Coast and pursue his passion for expanding healthcare in rural and underserved communities.

At home, Jace can most often be found convincing his family to embark on an outdoor adventure—whether it’s hiking, kayaking, fishing, camping. He also spends endless hours broadening the minds of his daughters to the best music. He is thrilled and deeply grateful to join Full Circle Health Nampa and serve the Nampa community.
