Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Anubodh Sunny Varshney is a Clinical Assistant Professor, Medical Director of Mechanical Circulatory Support, and Associate Director of the Fellowship Program in the Section of Advanced Heart Failure, Transplant Cardiology, and Mechanical Circulatory Support at Stanford. In addition to caring for patients with advanced heart disease, he is also a clinical researcher and works to identify patient groups that have sub-optimal outcomes with current therapies, define benchmark outcomes that next generation therapies should improve upon, and understand factors that influence adoption of novel drug and device therapies for cardiovascular disease.
Dr. Varshney earned a BS in biomedical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis and an MD from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. He completed residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Brigham & Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School and fellowship in Advanced Heart Failure, Transplant Cardiology, and Mechanical Circulatory Support at Stanford University.

Abraham Verghese, MD, MACP
Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interest is in clinical skills and the bedside exam, both in its technical aspects, but also in the importance of the ritual and what is conveyed by the physician's presence and technique at the bedside. This work interests me from an educational point of view, and also from the point of view of ethnographic studies related to rituals and how they transform the patient-physician relationship. Recently we have become interested in medical error as a result of oversights in the bedside exam.
