Dr. Becky Tuttle, M.D./M.S., is an adjunct faculty member in the School of Undergraduate Studies. She loves teaching Anatomy & Physiology using active learning techniques, team-based learning, and hands-on approaches in the lab. Maximizing the awesome gift of cadaveric dissection, Dr. Tuttle hopes students will understand the beauty and function of the human body. When not teaching at NUNM, Dr. Tuttle works full-time as a Board-certified Emergency Physician at Portland’s VA Hospital and part-time at Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center in Oregon City.

In the past, Dr. Tuttle has studied English, religion, art history, ethics, and medical humanities. Her interests intersected when she wrote a thesis on the nkisi nkondi (a spiritual object intersecting faith, art, and healing). A Fulbright Scholar, she taught English in Thailand before returning to the US for medical school.
