Jenny Clark Schiff
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in SoM - Biomedical EthicsBioJenny Clark Schiff, PhD, MA, MA is the Clinical Ethics Fellow at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. She has research interests in reproductive ethics, disability ethics, and bioethical issues in sport (especially in the youth/pediatric setting). As part of her fellowship training, she is an Ethics Consultant and member of the Ethics Committee for both Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children's Health.
Dr. Schiff completed her PhD in Philosophy at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York in 2024. Her dissertation focused on poorly understood medical conditions that are, in large part, “invisible” but can be profoundly disabling to patients (e.g. myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, Long COVID, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). She is interested in how to improve the doctor-patient relationship in settings of uncertainty, and how to better design healthcare systems and medical education to care for patients with poorly understood medical conditions in a more just and humane manner.
While pursuing her PhD, she was an Ethics Fellow, and then a Senior Ethics Fellow, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she facilitated ethics didactic sessions for medical students and various residency programs. She has also taught or assistant taught bioethics and philosophy courses to graduate students at New York University and undergraduate students at The City College of New York.
Dr. Schiff was a four-year member of the Varsity Women’s Lacrosse team as an undergraduate at Columbia and served as Co-Captain her senior year. She is a cellist in the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and enjoys following international women’s soccer. -
Austin Schoeffler
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Peds/Clinical InformaticsBioAustin Schoeffler, M.D., is an emergency medicine physician and clinical informatics fellow at Stanford University. Dr. Schoeffler earned his M.D. from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at University Hospitals/Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. He is currently pursuing a two-year fellowship in Clinical Informatics at Stanford, focusing on the integration of machine learning and digital health solutions within emergency care.
Dr. Schoeffler has a strong background in both clinical operations and digital innovation. He has assisted on projects leveraging AI-driven facial recognition software for depression screening in the emergency department, and is currently critically evaluating the impact of ambient AI scribes on clinical care and helping to create the first AI benchmark for emergency medicine. His operational experience includes governance and workflow optimization at his previous institution, where he contributed to initiatives enhancing patient care delivery and hospital efficiency.
His scholarly interests center on responsible AI integration, innovation, building the future of digital health technology, and expanding access to populations not traditionally reached by existing clinical infrastructure. He is committed to fostering industry-academic partnerships, rigorously evaluating emerging AI tools, and benchmarking AI products for deployment in acute care settings. Clinically, he is passionate about evidence-based care, digital health, and the development of novel care delivery models in emergency medicine. -

Bobak Seddighzadeh
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in Peds/Clinical InformaticsBioOver the past 13 years, Dr. Seddighzadeh has advanced biomedical innovation at Harvard, Stanford, and the Mayo Clinic, integrating emerging technologies with clinical medicine to improve patient care.
Dr. Seddighzadeh’s expertise spans genomic medicine, clinical informatics, and clinical AI. He has built enterprise-level clinical decision support systems that improve care at scale, and as part of the Stanford GUIDE-AI group and the Nigam Shah Lab, he focuses on developing AI-enabled clinical platforms for Stanford’s hospitals and clinics. His work in clinical AI includes implementation, evaluation, and safety guardrails. He also contributes to precision medicine efforts that use multi-omic data to identify disease subtypes and enable more individualized care. As part of Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, he helped build one of the world’s first complete human cell atlases.
In clinical practice, Dr. Seddighzadeh is committed to delivering outstanding internal medicine care to hospitalized patients. He approaches medicine as a craft, continually sharpening diagnostic reasoning and therapeutic decision-making in service of the best possible outcomes. He also values prevention and partners with patients to build sustainable habits that support long-term health and health span.
At New York University, Dr. Seddighzadeh received the Degree Representative Award, an honor conferred by the faculty recognizing the single graduating student with the highest overall academic achievement. He later earned a full-tuition scholarship from the founding dean to attend the University of Nevada, where he graduated with top honors in medicine. He went on to complete his internal medicine residency at Mayo Clinic where he was selected for the Resident Leadership Academy, a specialized program for residents identified across the Mayo Clinic enterprise as future leaders. There he also developed and launched the AI and Medicine Residency Track. He is currently a Clinical Informatics Fellow and internal medicine hospitalist at Stanford University.
