Title: “The Physiologic Basis of the Operative Experience: The WHOOP Study”
Presented by the WHOOP Study Team:
Each first Monday of every month, S-SPIRE hosts a Zoom Work-In-Progress session (WIP) for faculty members and trainees to present their research and receive feedback on projects in every phase of development—from drafting specific aims pages, to parsing grant review committee comments, to abstracts/papers/methods in preparation.
Please contact Ana Mezynski at mezynski@stanford.edu for Zoom dial-in instructions.
Presented by: Aaron Dawes, MD
Assistant Professor of Surgery, General Surgery, Stanford
Talk Title: “The Effect of Managed Care on Access and Quality for Medicaid Patients with Colon Cancer”
Bio:
Dr. Dawes is a board-certified, fellowship-trained colon and rectal surgeon. He is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of General Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Dawes treats a wide variety of conditions involving the colon, rectum, and anus, always leveraging the latest evidence and technologies. He is fully trained in minimally invasive surgical techniques–including laparoscopic, robotic, and trans-anal minimally invasive surgery–and strives to employ them, whenever possible, in an effort to reduce pain and shorten recovery.
Each week, S-SPIRE hosts an in-person Work-In-Progress session (WIP) for faculty members and trainees to present their research and receive feedback on projects in every phase of development—from drafting specific aims pages, to parsing grant review committee comments, to abstracts/papers/methods in preparation.

Associate Professor of Surgery | Section of Trauma, Critical Care, and Acute Care Surgery
Director of Global Engagement | Department of Surgery
Talk Title: “CLEAN-CS: A cluster-randomized stepped wedge interventional trial evaluating an adaptive, multimodal intervention to reduce postoperative infections following cesarean delivery in Ethiopia”
Bio:
Dr. Thomas Weiser is a general and trauma surgeon, and surgical intensivist. He treats and cares for injured patients and those with acute surgical emergencies as well as manages critically ill surgical patients in the Intensive Care Unit.
His research is focused on evaluating the role surgical care plays in the delivery of health services in resource poor settings, in particular low and middle income countries. He is interested in barriers to access and provision of surgical care, the quality of surgical services, and outcomes research as well as the science of implementation, how improvements can be made, and how to strengthen compliance with best practices and change behaviors for the better. He also has an interest in domestic policy as it relates to trauma outcomes, trauma systems, insurance coverage and costs of care, and firearm violence.
