Zach Adham
Zach Adham grew up in the Bay Area in California. He attended undergraduate at University of Rochester in New York, where he lived in the research lab, majored in Neuroscience, and rode a bicycle everywhere, all the time. As the glamour of biomedical research wore away a bit, Zach ended up spending a fifth year studying the intersection of anthropology, research, and medicine. That was followed by a year working at UCSF in a cancer research laboratory, then medical school at University of Illinois. Zach was drawn to psychiatry for its mystery, and is grateful to have discovered the field of forensics within it. He’s enjoyed residency thus far at OHSU and looks forward to another year here in forensics fellowship. Outside of work you’ll find Zach re-learning how to have hobbies, so far including swimming, climbing, skiing, BBQing, cooking, baking, gaming, and thrifting.
