Medicine Grand Rounds: The Clerkship Education Environment and Mistreatment @ LKSC, Paul Berg Hall
Sep 27 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am
Medicine Grand Rounds: The Clerkship Education Environment and Mistreatment @ LKSC, Paul Berg Hall | Palo Alto | California | United States

Presenter: James Lau, MD, MHPE, FACS
Clinical Professor, Surgery
Stanford University

James Lau is a general surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery. He has been active in medical education at two different institutions for thirteen years and has been at Stanford for over eight years. He is the associate program director for the surgery residency and is the medical student surgery core clerkship director at the Stanford School of Medicine. He created a simulation center and program for the Department of Surgery at the University of Nevada School of Medicine 12 years ago from the ground up. Upon his arrival to Stanford, he positioned the Goodman Surgical Education Center and the Education Fellowship to new heights of curricular and research rigor.

He serves as a mentor for the surgical education fellows and is the champion for many medical education initiatives for the Department of Surgery at Stanford. Since becoming the Assistant Dean for Clerkship Education for the Stanford School of Medicine, he has made improving the educational environment for medical students and coordinating support and guidance for the struggling student his mission. Lau’s research interests have culminated into the creation, deployment, and assessment of interdisciplinary in-situ simulations in the Operating Room environment to improve patient safety through teamwork and communication. James has also recently completed his Master’s Degree in Health Professions Education from the University of Illinois-Chicago in order to better serve as an educational mentor for faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students. His passion is to empower others to reach their potential through teaching and mentorship especially through innovation in any form it takes.

Medicine Grand Rounds: Hepatitis C @ LKSC, Berg Hall
Nov 29 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am
Medicine Grand Rounds: Hepatitis C @ LKSC, Berg Hall | Palo Alto | California | United States

Presenters: Paul Kwo, MD and Jeffrey Glenn, MD,PhD
Kwo: Professor of Medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Glenn: Associate Professor of Medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, & Microbiology and Immunology
Stanford University

Paul Kwo, MD, is currently Professor of Medicine and Director of Hepatology at the Stanford University where he joined the faculty in November 2016. Prior to joining the faculty at Stanford, he was at Indiana University for 21 years where he served as the Medical Director of Liver Transplantation. He has distinguished himself in the field of chronic Hepatitis C and has a large practice devoted to current and novel therapies for the treatment of Hepatitis C. He recently authored the pACG Clinical Guideline: Evaluation of Abnormal Liver Chemistries.

Jeffrey Glenn, MD, PhD,’s primary interest is in molecular virology, with a strong emphasis on translating this knowledge into novel antiviral therapies. Current projects aim to better understand the role of prenylation in the life cycles of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and other viruses-both as a mechanism of intracellular trafficking and trigger of virus assembly, and as a target for a promising antiviral treatment. The function and cell biology of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural proteins are also being studied. Here the focus is on identifying key determinants of pathogenesis and designing novel antiviral strategies. Other interests include exploitation of hepatic stem cells, development of a small animal model for HCV, and engineered human liver tissues.
