Talk Title: “Using MRI, Radiomics, and AI to Predict Rectal Cancer Response: Insights from the SHORT-FOX Phase II Clinical Trial.”
Bio: Ashley Y Son, BS is a Research Data Analyst for the Stanford-Surgery Policy Improvement Research & Education Center (S-SPIRE). Ashley received her bachelor’s degree in Statistics and Data Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Bio: Heather Selby is a Basic Life Research Scientist for the Stanford-Surgery Policy Improvement Research & Education Center (S-SPIRE). Heather is interested in developing medical imaging-based AI models to identify patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who achieve a clinical complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, with the goal of sparing them from surgery and its associated risks.

Talk Title: “How Can We Leverage the EHR for Evidence-Based Surgical Care: Use Cases for Surgical Site Infection and Advanced Care Planning.”
Bio: Elizabeth C. Wick, M.D. is a professor of surgery with a clinical focus in colorectal surgery. Liza was Vice Chair of Quality and Safety at Johns Hopkins and is currently in the role at UCSF. Beyond clinical care, she has excelled as a mentor and researcher, promoting scholarship amongst trainees and junior faculty. She has been continuously funded by the NIH/AHRQ, most recently with an NIA-funded pragmatic trial to better understand implementation approaches to accelerate the adoption of advanced care planning in surgery. Previously, she led a national collaborative, in partnership with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the American College of Surgeons, around accelerating the dissemination of surgical pathways across four surgical areas (colorectal, gynecology, orthopedics, and emergency general surgery) over five years.

ACS CLINICAL CONGRESS PRESENTATION PRACTICE
Presented by General Surgery Residents from the Department of Surgery at Stanford University.
Each week, S-SPIRE hosts a hybrid-model Work-In-Progress session (WIP) for faculty members and trainees to present their research and receive feedback. These run from September through May each year.
Our monthly WIP sessions (first Monday of every month) features Stanford and guest faculty presentations of well-developed projects. This WIP provides an opportunity to discuss high impact research and create synergy within the Stanford HSR/Surgery communities.
Our weekly WIP sessions feature trainees and faculty projects in every phase of development—from drafting specific aims pages, to parsing grant review committee comments, to abstracts/papers/methods in preparation.
Anyone can attend and happy hour conditions apply here too.
