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.

Stanford University
Tina Hernandez-Boussard, MD, is an Associate Professor in Medicine (Biomedical Informatics), Biomedical Data Science, and Surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Hernandez-Boussard’s background and expertise is in the field of computational biology, with concentration on accountability measures, population health, and health policy. A key focus of her research is the application of novel methods and tools to large clinical datasets for hypothesis generation, comparative effectiveness research, and the evaluation of quality healthcare delivery.
Presenter: Carla Pugh, MD, PhD
Professor of Surgery, Stanford University
Carla Pugh, MD, is Professor of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also the Director of the Technology Enabled Clinical Improvement (T.E.C.I.) Center. Her clinical area of expertise is Acute Care Surgery. Pugh obtained her undergraduate degree at U.C. Berkeley in Neurobiology and her medical degree at Howard University School of Medicine. Upon completion of her surgical training at Howard University Hospital, she went to Stanford University and obtained a PhD in Education. She is the first surgeon in the United States to obtain a PhD in Education. Her goal is to use technology to change the face of medical and surgical education.
Her research involves the use of simulation and advanced engineering technologies to develop new approaches for assessing and defining competency in clinical procedural skills. Dr. Pugh holds three patents on the use of sensor and data acquisition technology to measure and characterize hands-on clinical skills. Currently, over two hundred medical and nursing schools are using one of her sensor enabled training tools for their students and trainees. Her work has received numerous awards from medical and engineering organizations. In 2011 Dr. Pugh received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from President Barak Obama at the White House. She is considered to be a lead, international expert on the use of sensors and motion tracking technology for performance measurement. In 2014 she was invited to give a TEDMED talk on the potential uses of technology to transform how we measure clinical skills in medicine. In April 2018, Dr. Pugh was inducted into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
