Maureen McCarthy, MPH, RD, LD, CRS currently works as the Transplant Dietitian, providing nutrition care for patients of the Liver and Kidney-Pancreas transplant teams at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). She also is the Interim Director of Dietetics and Nutrition in OHSU’s School of Medicine. Prior to working with the transplant teams, Ms McCarthy spent 20 years as a renal dietitian, working with adult hemodialysis patients. After completing her BS in Human Nutrition and Foods at Cornell University, Ms McCarthy continued on to an internship at University of California, San Francisco. After a few years on the staff there, she returned to school to complete an MPH at UC, Berkeley.

Throughout her career, Ms McCarthy has volunteered with local and state dietetics groups and nutrition councils. In Oregon, she became involved with the Oregon Council on Renal Nutrition (OCRN). This led to volunteer activities in the National Kidney Foundation-Council on Renal Nutrition (NKF-CRN) and she has served on several NKF-CRN committees over the years. Ms McCarthy is also part of the American Dietetic Association’s (ADA) Peer Network for Nutrition Diagnosis, and is working with other nephrology nutrition colleagues on the Standards of Practice for Nephrology Nutrition. She speaks at local and national meetings, most often on Subjective Global Assessment and Chronic Kidney Disease. For the past 10 years she has contributed to and coordinated Strategies for New Renal Dietitians, a review course presented annually as a pre-conference workshop at the NKF Clinical Nephrology Meetings.


Areas of special interest include the process of nutrition assessment and dietetics education. In Fall 2001 she received the American Dietetic Association-Renal Practice Group Outstanding Service Award at ADA’s meeting in St. Louis. In 2002-2003, Ms McCarthy completed the Diagnostic Nutrition Residency at the VAMC in Phoenix. She has several peer-reviewed publications and has presented poster sessions at national meetings.

Tracy Ryan-Borchers, PhD, RD, LD - Following completion of a coordinated Master’s degree and Dietetic Internship Program in 1991 at Rush University in Chicago, IL, I began my professional career as a nutritionsupport dietitian at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago. My job responsibilities included development of specialized nutrition prescriptions for critically ill patients, as well as serving as a preceptor for dietetic interns. Upon returning to my native state of Montana, my areas of practice broadened and included patient counseling and education in outpatient sites, as well. After working as a clinical dietitian for 10 years in a variety of acute and ambulatory care settings, my career goals evolved from direct patient care to teaching and clinical research. Therefore, I returned to graduate school and received a PhD in Human Nutrition from Washington State University in 2004. My doctoral research involved the evaluation of antioxidant and immune modulating effects of soy isoflavones, obtained from either soymilk or a supplement, in healthy postmenopausal women.

Ryan-Borchers TA, Park JS, Chew BP, McGuire MK, Fournier LR, Beerman KA. Soy isoflavones modulate immune function in healthy postmenopausal women. Am J Clin Nutr 2006;83:1118-25.

Upon completion of my doctoral program at WSU, I accepted the position of Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine and Education Coordinator in Dietetics and Nutrition at Oregon Health and Science University. Professional responsibilities include developing course content and lectures for the dietetic internship and graduate nutrition programs; advising student research projects and establishing independence as a nutrition researcher focusing on dietary modulation of oxidative stress and immune function in chronic disease. I am currently enrolled in the Human Investigation Program (HIP) at Oregon Health & Science University, a 2 yr training program (September 2005 – June 2007) in the clinical investigation process including mentored research experience, coursework and grantsmanship. In order to gain knowledge and experience in the nutrition physical exam, I completed the one-year Nutritional Injury-Specific Diagnostic Nutrition Residency at the Carl T. Hayden VA in Phoenix, Arizona in June 2006.Professional affiliations include the American Society for Nutrition, the American Dietetic Association and the Oregon Dietetic Association.
