Holly Caretta-Weyer
Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioHolly Caretta-Weyer is currently Associate Residency Program Director and Director of Evaluation and Assessment for the Stanford University Emergency Medicine Residency Program as well as EPA/CBME Implementation Lead at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Caretta-Weyer attended medical school at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health where she graduated Alpha Omega Alpha with Honors in Research. She loved being a Badger so much that she stayed for her Emergency Medicine Residency at the University of Wisconsin where she was also Chief Resident. Dr. Caretta-Weyer then moved to the West Coast where she completed her Medical Education Scholarship Fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and completed her Masters in Health Professions Education (MHPE) at the University of Illinois-Chicago. She began her PhD at Maastricht University studying residency selection in a competency-based system in March of 2021.
While at OHSU, Dr. Caretta-Weyer worked as a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency pilot team and was a founding member of the OHSU undergraduate medical education entrustment committee. She continues to be involved with the national AAMC Core EPA Pilot through her continued collaboration with the OHSU team. Through this process she has gained valuable experience in working to define programmatic assessment, formulate summative entrustment decisions, and more seamlessly bridge the transition from undergraduate to graduate medical education, all of which are key initiatives within medical education.
Dr. Caretta-Weyer is also the PI on a $1.3M AMA Reimagining Residency Grant focused on redesigning assessment across the continuum of emergency medicine training and introducing predictive learning analytics to the process. She is additionally a member of the International Competency-Based Medical Education (ICBME) Collaborators, a group that seeks to further research on CBME around the world.
Dr. Caretta-Weyer's education research interests focus on the implementation of competency-based education and assessment across the continuum of medical education, summative entrustment and promotion decision-making processes, residency selection in a competency-based system, and the development of learner handovers to span key transitions in the educational continuum. When not focusing on her administrative and education research interests, Dr. Caretta-Weyer can be found kayaking, hiking, cycling, playing volleyball, or cheering on her favorite sports teams including the Wisconsin Badgers and Milwaukee Brewers. -
Jan Carette
Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on the identification of host genes that play critical roles in the pathogenesis of infectious agents including viruses. We use haploid genetic screens in human cells as an efficient approach to perform loss-of-function studies. Besides obtaining fundamental insights on how viruses hijack cellular processes and on host defense mechanisms, it may also facilitate the development of new therapeutic strategies.

David Mikel Carreon
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioI have always wanted to do the most good with my abilities. On this path, I studied to become a doctor, all the while thinking I would work in global health. I spent a year in Kenya and came to realize that there is much work to be done, but many of the problems are "upstream" in both ideas coming from "the West" and in medical systems. I came back to the US and discovered a love for neuroscience and nurtured my interests in the big questions. I became a psychiatrist and have come to believe the greatest impact can be made in mental health and specifically depression.
We are in the midst of a revolution in psychiatry. Our treatments have been slow and only partly effective. Now, we are starting to better understand the brain and have highly-effective, fast-acting treatments. Building on earlier work on the Stanford Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), in October 2021, our team showed that a 5-day targeted TMS treatment (Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy, SNT) brought 79% of patients into remission from treatment-resistant depression. This work shows not just a new single treatment, but validates a new approach in psychiatry.
My passion is to develop and deliver these new treatments to those who need them most. -
