Ulysses Duckler, DO
Medical School: William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Ulysses Duckler, one of your lovely incoming residents in the Omak rural training track. A little bit about myself outside of medicine: I am a self-published author, game designer, and jewelry maker. I enjoy staying healthy by biking in the great outdoors of the pacific Northwest and cooking elaborate meals. Among friends, I love playing board games and Mahjong. My medical interests include OMT, rural healthcare, and care for houseless people and the LGBTQ+ community.

Deepkiran Singh, MD
Medical School: Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine
As cliché as it gets, Deepkiran knew medicine was her calling from as early as she can remember. The seeds of interest were sown during her visits to family in India. In India, she was able to witness first-hand the critical need for appropriate health care to meet the needs of the community. She had a strong interest in Ob/Gyn coming into medical school, but along the way fell in love with psychiatry and pediatrics during her clinical rotations. She quickly realized how well family medicine would be able to incorporate all three and match her ambition to holistically care for patients from birth to death by developing both preventive and therapeutic long-lasting relationships. Her interests within medicine include working with under-served communities, obstetrics and reproductive health, addiction medicine, behavioral health, and global health. She is extremely grateful and excited to be completing her full spectrum training at TFM/Omak and feels privileged at the opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape her into the person that she is today. Outside of medicine, she loves playing tennis, singing, dancing, gardening, baking, cooking and trying new vegetarian recipes, watching movies and tv shows, and completing all sorts of new DIY/art projects.
James Ton, DO

His ideal family practice would include preventative medicine, nutrition, osteopathic manipulative therapy, physical wellness, mental health, spiritual wellbeing, and meeting the special health needs of the local community.
