Sally Graglia
Clinical Associate Professor, Emergency Medicine
BioDr. Graglia, the youngest of four in an immigrant family, grew up in Southern California. Considering veterinary medicine, journalism, architecture, and Disney animation, Dr. Graglia ‘discovered people’ during a summer in undergrad working in Ethiopia, decided on medicine as her path forward, and has never looked back.
A UC child, she completed her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, medical school at UC Davis, and residency at UCSF with deviations to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health for a Masters of Public Health and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) for fellowship in Emergency Ultrasound.
Having worked, learned, and/or taught throughout Africa, Europe and Eastern Europe, and Central and South America, her three pillars continue to be point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), education, and global health with an unending drive to serve the underserved.
Outside of work, Dr. Graglia enjoys her growing family, yoga, hiking, being outside, and exploring - new cultures, places, and languages. -
Britni Wilcher
Affiliate, Health Policy
Visiting Scholar, Health PolicyBioBritni Wilcher, PhD, is a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Health Policy at Stanford University and an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of health, labor, and gender economics. Dr. Wilcher's research focuses on the economics of health decision making and its implications for labor markets using quasi-experimental designs. Her research portfolio spans vulnerable populations and policy interventions, from evaluating teletherapy adoption patterns among 200,000+ veterans to conducting regulatory impact analyses protecting 22+ million workers nationwide. Her collaborative research products have withstood judicial review up to the Supreme Court and provided evidence-based input into policy actions. Her work has been cited in congressional testimony and the 2022 Economic Report of the President. It has been featured in federal regulations and published in peer-reviewed journals including Labour Economics, Health Economics, Value in Health, and the International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care.
Dr. Wilcher has worked in management consulting, government, universities, and has consulted with think tanks, foundations, the EU Commission, and a United Nations entity. She holds a PhD in Economics from American University, an MSc in International Health Care Management, Economics, and Policy from SDA Bocconi School of Management, and a BA in Economics from Spelman College. -
Laura Graham
Other Teaching Staff-Hourly, Surgery
BioI am an epidemiologist and health services researcher with nearly 20 years of experience in surgical outcomes research. My work focuses on improving healthcare delivery and outcomes for Veterans and other vulnerable populations, particularly those who are older or medically complex. Using large administrative datasets from the Veterans Health Administration (VA), I study surgical processes and outcomes to inform system-level improvements.
With postdoctoral training in health economics and implementation science, I bring expertise in causal inference methodology and artificial intelligence, particularly the use of natural language processing (NLP). I apply these methods to extract insights from unstructured clinical data and to strengthen causal analyses in complex healthcare datasets. These approaches allow me to address research questions that were previously difficult to study with standard empirical approaches.
As a collaborative leader, I have mentored junior investigators and worked across academic and industry sectors to advance health services research. My goal is to translate evidence into practice, ultimately improving the quality of surgical care for Veterans. -

Teodor Grantcharov, MD, PhD, FACS, FRCS (Glasg)
Professor of Surgery (General Surgery)
BioDr. Teodor Grantcharov completed his surgical training at the University of Copenhagen, and a doctoral degree in Medical Sciences at the University of Aarhus in Denmark.
Dr. Grantcharov is a Professor of Surgery at Stanford University and Associate Chief Quality Officer for Innovation and Safety at Stanford Healthcare.
Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Grantcharov was a Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto and Keenan Chair in Surgery at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. He was the Founder of the International Centre for Surgical Safety – a multidisciplinary group of visionary scientists with expertise in design, human factors, computer- and data science, and healthcare research. He previously held Canada Research Chair in Simulation and Surgical Safety and was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II diamond jubilee medal for his contributions to clinical research and patient safety in Canada. Dr. Grantcharov was awarded the honorary fellowship of the Imperial College in London, the honorary fellowships of the Bulgarian, Danish and Brazilian surgical societies, the Spinoza Chair in Surgery from the University of Amsterdam and multiple national and international awards for his contributions to surgical education and surgical safety.
Dr. Grantcharov’s clinical interest is the area of minimally invasive surgery, while his academic focus is in the field of surgical innovation and patient safety. He has become internationally recognized as a leader in this area with his work on curriculum design, assessment of competence and impact of surgical performance on clinical outcomes. Dr. Grantcharov developed the surgical Black Box concept, which aims to transform the safety culture in medicine and introduce modern safety management systems in the high-risk operating room environment.
Dr. Grantcharov has more than 220 peer-reviewed publications and more than 200 invited presentations in Europe, South- and North America. He holds several patents and is the Founder of Surgical Safety Technologies Inc – an academic startup that commercializes the OR Black Box platform. He sits on numerous committees with Surgical Professional Societies in North America and Europe. -
