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.

Talk Title: “Data Science to Improve Trauma Care Delivery.”

Bio: General surgery resident (2017-2025; administrative chief resident 2024-2025), incoming surgical critical care fellow (2025-2026). MS in Epidemiology & Clinical Research (2019-2020), and Biomedical Informatics (2020-2022). Ex-president of Surgeons Writing About Trauma. Founding course instructor of SURG238: Practical Introduction to Surgical Research.

My research vision is to save or better the most possible number of lives using data. Our group focuses on:

1) building and implementing useful clinical prediction tools
2) bringing various AI applications (e.g. NLP, vision) to the bedside
3) challenging dogma in surgical practice with contemporary data

My passions are advocating for higher statistical and machine learning methodology quality in surgical literature , and fostering the growth of the next generation of surgeon data scientists.
