Tom Handley, from London, England, graduated from Oxford University with a bachelor's degree in medical science, and earned an MD at Imperial College London. After two years of medical practice, he completed an academic foundation training program in general surgery with research in novel transplant technologies. Tom aspires to find policy solutions for challenges facing transplant systems, to widen access to transplant surgery, and improve the delivery of surgical care worldwide. He was awarded Proxime Accessit for the University of London Gold Medal, the prize given to the best graduating doctor from the universities of London, and recently made a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons. He is also a Stanford Knight-Hennessy Scholar.

Griffin is Rocky Mountain born and raised. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts in Middle East Studies and Arabic and went on to become a fellow with the Center for Arabic Study Abroad at the American University in Cairo. Griffin first began thinking about value in healthcare while volunteering at the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, where he witnessed firsthand the challenges of delivering quality care in a resource-limited setting.

The following year, Griffin became a clinical researcher for the Surgical Services Clinical Program at Intermountain Healthcare. Working with a multidisciplinary team, he helped provide surgeons across the Intermountain system with real-time cost and outcomes data to inform the decision-making process at every stage of surgical care. Griffin attended medical school at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed the first two years of postgraduate surgical training at Parkland Memorial Hospital and the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. Parkland is the public hospital for Dallas County, and seeing the disparities that exist in this large urban community prompted him to pursue additional training in population health.

As a Stanford-Intermountain Fellow, Griffin is working with leaders in the field of delivery science to continue to develop innovative ways to enhance the value of patient care. He will then return to Dallas to finish his surgical residency and continue a career as a surgeon and leader in healthcare delivery. When he’s not at the hospital, Griffin can be found exercising outdoors, cooking with his wife, or fishing from his kayak.

Vivian was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and completed her undergraduate degree in Biology at Stanford. She attended the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York for medical school, and returned to Stanford for her Integrated Vascular Surgery residency. As part of her program, Vivian has completed 3 years of clinical training and is now taking a two year fellowship to pursue her interest in academic surgery.

Vivian’s research leverages epidemiological and machine learning methods to evaluate surgical diagnostics and decision-making tools, with the goal of reducing unnecessary testing and streamlining the pathway from diagnosis to intervention. Previously, she has used national databases to delineate gender differences in outcomes of aortic surgery and the effect of systemic anticoagulation on patients with traumatic aortic injury. She is particularly interested in using the electronic medical record as a source of clinical data and a platform for clinical decision-making support. She will be pursuing a Masters in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford from 2020-2022 to refine her computational techniques.

In her free time Vivian enjoys cooking, biking, and playing tennis.

Amanda Su is a Health Policy PhD candidate specializing in health economics. Her research interests include healthcare access, delivery, financing, and utilization.

Before Stanford, Amanda was a data scientist at Nuna Health, where she used econometric, statistical, and machine learning techniques to develop and improve an offline patient-PCP matching system. Prior, at Analysis Group, Amanda helped conduct economic analyses, market power studies, and survey experiments to study firm and consumer behavior. Amanda obtained her bachelor's degrees in Economics and Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley.
