Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Over the last 7 years, hehas been a pioneer in the application of information technology to enhancethe quality and safety of surgical education and reduce its staggering cost.In collaboration with computer scientists, engineers, and industry, he hasparticipated in the development of several surgical trainers and has begunthe systematic study of their use and efficacy in surgical education. For thiswork he received a 1999 Smithsonian Information Technology InnovatorsAward.
