Caldwell Residency Program


Welcome to the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho – Caldwell program. The program is a branch of the main Full Circle Health Program that is designed especially for broad-spectrum rural family medicine training. Here in Caldwell, our faculty is passionate about the training of Family Medicine Physicians. We are an unopposed program supported by the entire medical community of Caldwell and the surrounding areas. Therefore, we are able to provide an extremely broad training experience for our residents. Trainees essentially become a member of the medical group when they come to Caldwell as a resident, allowing for great professional and personal flexibility. This is very important because we recognize that balance is necessary to make well-rounded, fulfilled physicians.

The Caldwell Residency program began as a Rural Training Track (RTT) back in 1995 with one resident per year, graduating our first resident in 1998. In 2006, due to the program’s success, it was expanded to two residents per year (six residents’ total). In 2011, once again, the program expanded to three residents per year (nine residents’ total). All of our graduates are board certified family medicine physicians. Of our graduates to date, 88% are serving in rural areas.

Starting July 2023, the first year of training will begin in Caldwell with plans of going back to Boise for pediatrics/OB through rotations.

Clinical Locations

Saint Alphonsus Medical Clinic

315 East Elm Street, Caldwell, ID 83605

The Caldwell RTT site is based at Saint Alphonsus Medical Clinic which is a large group of ten family physicians and five pediatricians. The clinic is located in a 56,000 square foot office building physically attached to West Valley Medical Center in Caldwell. This close proximity allows residents to go back and forth between the clinic and the hospital with ease, helping them to be involved with any interesting cases that may be going on in either location.

West Valley Medical Center

1717 Arlington Avenue, Caldwell, ID 83605

Hospital duties during years two and three will be performed at WVMC. West Valley is a 150-bed (ten critical care beds, seven intermediate care beds, eight pediatric beds) community hospital that has been serving the community well for over 50 years. Residents are welcome to gain experience in the entire hospital. They can commonly be seen in the busy ER, the endoscopy suite, the critical care unit, the OR, and even the cardiac catheterization lab. Food is provided for residents in the cafeteria and doctor’s lounge free of charge. The hospital is small enough that one can quickly learn everyone’s name, and large enough to provide a broad experience for trainees.

Lauren Hanlon, DO

Caldwell RTT Program 2023

I was born and raised for most of my life in Ventura, CA. I came from a family of competitive swimmers and all-around water lovers so I had the privilege of spending most of my life in and around water. I swam competitively for 15 years, ultimately swimming for the University of Redlands women’s swim team. While at Redlands, I majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry and Spanish. I was also fortunate enough to meet my husband Ryan during our freshman year, and we have been together ever since. Between undergrad and medical school, I wanted to experience the world outside of my comfort zone and improve my Spanish language skills. Ryan and I lived, worked, and traveled in Chile and Argentina for seven months. We met extraordinary people, saw some of the most beautiful places in the world, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. After returning from South America, I was accepted into medical school at Pacific Northwest University (PNWU) in Yakima, WA.

My medical interests include: Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), Sports Medicine, Women’s Health, and Emergency Medicine.

Some things I like to do for fun: I now compete with the Boise Barbell Olympic Weightlifting Club in Boise. I love being part of the tight knit group and continuing to improve my strength and technique. I also love anything to do with water (as mentioned above), hiking with our dog, Max, being the pack mule during Ryan’s triathlon races, and sampling Ryan’s new cooking masterpieces.

I am so excited to be part of the Full Circle Health family!

R2

Trent DeLong, DO

Prior to medical school, Trent obtained both undergraduate and graduate degrees in the arts and humanities. He worked professionally in music for several years, traveling to dozens of countries and nearly every U.S. state. Following a health crisis with his father, Trent was inspired by Dr. Marcus Williams, a cardiothoracic surgeon so much so that he embarked on a path to pursue a career in medicine. 

Trent competed his medical degree at Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine. While in medical school, he found himself drawn to family medicine due to the ability to practice as a full-scope physician. 

His professional interests include gastrointestinal health as well as endoscopy and endoscopic procedures, inpatient and emergency medicine, POCUS, surgical and inpatient-procedures and more. When not fulfilling clinical responsibilities, Trent enjoys spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, community service, medical missions, traveling, aviation, and golf. 

“I am truly honored to be part of Full Circle Health‘s Family Medicine Residency of Idaho. I am blessed to work with such an amazing team of residents, attendings, faculty and staff. Our residency program is truly outstanding and provides the environment, space, and training necessary to practice as a full-scope family medicine physician.” – Trent

Andrew Harding, DO

Caldwell RTT Program 2024

Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine

Born in Utah, and raised in Twin Falls, ID where most of my family still lives, I grew up the 4th of 5 kids. Growing up in southern Idaho helped me develop a love for the outdoors and adventure, where I was actively participating in scouting and church activities. After serving a 2 year mission for my church in Australia, where I continued to develop a love for travel, outdoors and camping, I attended Arizona State University and played club waterpolo for Mesa, AZ. 

I am a father of 2 wonderful kids, the best pooch, and an avocado tree. I enjoy working out, boating and playing basically any sport out there. 

My love for family medicine stems from the ability to do so much and not be limited by my specialty. I hope to one day further expand my practice by completing a sports medicine or emergency medicine fellowship. 

Taylor Sorenson, DO

Caldwell RTT Program 2024

Pacific Northwest University College of Osteopathic Medicine

Taylor was born and raised in the small town of Aurora, UT. Growing up in an underserved area is where her passion for rural medicine began. She noticed the hardships her small town community faced when it came to obtaining appropriate medical care and the frequent struggle to find a committed family practitioner. Most of Taylor’s free time growing up was spent outdoors, whether that be on a four-wheeler, go-kart, boat, or wake-surfing. She would not change her small town upbringing for anything as it provided her the opportunity to discover why small town living and its communities are the best.

She attended undergraduate school at Southern Utah University where she majored in Biology and where she also met her husband Noah. She then attended Pacific Northwest University for medical school with her eyes always set on rural family medicine. She served as the Family Medicine Club Vice President, became a member of the Sigma Sigma Phi Honor Society, and was selected to join the Gold Humanism Society by her peers. She also traveled to Uganda, Africa for a global medicine trip during the 1st year of medical school as global medicine is another huge passion of hers. She then completed her clinical training right here in beautiful Boise and the surrounding areas. 

Currently Taylor spends her free time hiking with her husband and two dogs (Maple and Milo), traveling, and spending as much time with her family as possible. Her medical interests are Behavioral Health, Global Health, and Rural Medicine. 

Taylor is thrilled continue her training in Idaho and is so excited to be joining the Full Circle Health family!

David Gardner, DO

Caldwell Program 2025

David Gardner was raised in a small rural community in Northern California, the eldest of four kids. His father worked as a firefighter, and from a young age this inspired him to pursue a career in public service. After turning 19, David spent two years in Mexico as a missionary; this is where he first recognized major health disparities in both urban and rural communities and his desire was born to become a medical provider.

A photo of David Gardner and his family standing in front of stringed lights at an outdoor park.

After returning home from Mexico, David met his amazing wife Katie. Both graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho and moved to Arkansas for medical school New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. Two cute kiddos later, they are ecstatic to return to Idaho to be trained by Full Circle Health‘s Family Medicine Residency of Idaho program.

David chose family medicine because of its broad training and the ability to practice in a limited resourced environment. Caring for patients who may have limited access to specialists is important and a passion of his.

In David’s free time he loves; fishing, hunting, backpacking, playing video games with his brothers, and dabbling in an array of sports. He’s beyond excited to return to Idaho; getting some of the best rural family medicine training this country has to offer.

Aryan Sharif, DO

Caldwell Program 2025

A selfie photo of Aryan Sharif and his partner near the coast.

Born and raised in the Silicon Valley of California; Aryan Sharif MD realized at a young age that the culture of a tech-centered community wasn’t for him. He had the chance to explore a number of different communities in the state of California. After moving to almost a dozen new cities, his family finally settled in Berkeley. Residing in farming communities in California and joining numerous volunteering efforts in rural communities, both domestically and internationally, Aryan noticed some of the unique challenges associated with living in the countryside.

This lead to his passion for increasing healthcare accessibility in rural communities, especially with Latinx individuals. As a result, this guided him to pursue his medical education at A.T. Still University in Arizona. The time with the Full Circle Health family will help him accomplish these goals (and have fun doing it!).

While Aryan can find something enjoyable about almost anything, some of his favorite hobbies include rock climbing, playing board games, and chasing sunsets!

Chelsey Tlucek, MD

Caldwell Program 2025

Photo of Chelsey Tlucek by a river

Chelsey grew up on a dairy farm in Melba, Idaho until age fifteen. It was then when her family moved to Haiti to do mission work with Maranatha Children’s Ministries. Upon graduating high school, she came back to Idaho where she attended the College of Idaho in Caldwell. There, she majored in biology and minored in chemistry. Concluding her studies, Chelsey then spent two years on the Oregon coast attending Bible school while preparing for medical school. 

In 2015 she made the move to the Dominican Republic to attend the Universidad Iberoamericana School of Medicine, graduating in November 2020. She then spent most of 2021 working and obtaining clinical experience in Oregon, Nebraska, Illinois, and rural Pennsylvania. This experience led her to prepare for the residency application process and was matched with the Caldwell program at Full Circle Health

Chelsey’s clinical interests are around bringing quality healthcare and education to underserved communities in rural America and the developing world. Her years in Haiti and the Dominican Republic have given her passion for humanitarian work and learning about other cultures and languages. She is excited to be back on her “home turf” and receive the broad-spectrum training a rural family residency provides. 

In her free time Chelsey enjoys spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, chasing sunsets, reading novels, playing sports, and dabbling with watercolors. 

Mariellen Van Nieuwenhuyzen, MD

Caldwell Program 2025

Mariellen was raised on a small family farm in Northern California. She grew up actively involved in her family’s beekeeping business, as well as working in the almond orchard and raising sheep. Mariellen spent much of her youth caring for her mom who is severely disable by multiple sclerosis.

Mariellen Van Nieuwenhuyzen and her husband standing in front of their desert OHV.

These experiences; as well as pursuing her undergrad in small-town Iowa (at Dordt College), running the family farm with her brother after college, and frequently spending time in Alaska and other rural communities, encouraged her to combine her strong love for agricultural/farming communities with medicine. She was fortunate to be part of a rural medicine training program at the UC Davis School of Medicine. This program let her explore and serve several smaller communities throughout the state. She is excited to continue exploring rural medicine during her time at Full Circle Health‘s Caldwell family medicine residency program. 

She and her husband are sad to be leaving behind many dear friends (and lots of good desert OHV riding and camping) at their current home near San Diego. But they are eager to build new community and friendships as they make southern Idaho their home. When she has free time, Mariellen loves spending time with her husband and family (especially holding baby lambs or going for runs on her family’s farm), exploring and enjoying the beauty of God’s creation, reading good books, dabbling with creative and expository writing, fellowshipping with her church family, and visiting the many wonderful friends she and her husband have been blessed with.

Dr. Bill Brandenburg: What I like about Caldwell RTT:
FMRI Caldwell RTT gave me the training I needed to go to rural hospitals and practice a broad scope of care including pediatric, adult, obstetric, and critical care medicine.  Caldwell's unopposed residency gave me the freedom to move around the hospital and gain incite from many different specialty providers, nurses, and therapists. This allowed me to become a real full scope physician.

Caldwell is the first town and western entrance to the magnificent and picturesque Treasure Valley and is located on the beautiful Boise River. The city is situated in an ideal location between he Owyhee mountain range to the southwest and the Sawtooth range to the East which provides  ample camping, hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. 

The County Fair and the Caldwell Night Rodeo, Buckaroo Breakfast and Cinco de Mayo, are just a few of the places and events celebrated by the City of Caldwell. Southwest Idaho is also well known for its whitewater rafting, multiple ski resorts, great hiking trails, mountain biking, and awesome camping and fishing locations. 

Or try your luck panning for gold in Silver City, one of Idaho’s historic mining towns located just south of Caldwell.  In addition to being so close to the great outdoors, Caldwell is just 30 minutes west of Boise, which is Idaho’s capital and home to cultural events, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, the Boise philharmonic and a yearly Shakespeare Festival.
