About

Dr Tanner Nissly is a full-spectrum family physician and associate professor in the University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, North Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program. Dr. Nissly completed his family medicine residency at the North Memorial Program in 2010 and has treated patients and taught family medicine in the North Minneapolis community since that time. He has completed a faculty development fellowship at UM DFMCH and STFM’s Leading Change Fellowship. Current interests and work include office-based opioid use disorder treatment, point of care ultrasound (POCUS), and doctor-patient communication.

Dr. Nissly was trained in obstetric ultrasound in 2011 as part of an intensive OBUS faculty development track. This led to generalized interest in ultrasound as a diagnostic modality and eventual expansion into learning and teaching POCUS. He has led programmatic POCUS curricular efforts since 2015 and led the team that initiated the biannual departmental POCUS course at that time. Dr. Nissly is currently the leader of the UM DFMCH POCUS faculty development and curriculum expansion efforts.
