Pedro Tanaka
Clinical Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioI am a Clinical Professor in the Department of Anesthesia, at Stanford University Medical School. I am Brazilian and completed medical school, anesthesia training, and my PhD in Brazil. I came to Stanford University for a sabbatical year in 2007. It was a great fit on both sides, and I decided on a long-term career at Stanford. I graduated from “The Master of Academic Medicine program” at the University of Southern California in 2014 and completed a doctoral program in education at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2021. At Stanford, I have been involved with resident education not only through direct supervision, but also by initiating and working on several educational projects (Development and implementation of OSCEs, new lecture format “ libero” " assessing the Workplace Culture and Learning Climate, and use of Entrustable Professional Activities as a framework for assessment for learning). I currently serve as an Associate Designated Institutional Official for GME, Vice Chair for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Associate Residency Program Director. My clinical activity has focused on anesthesia for orthopedic surgery, particularly orthopedic total joint replacements. My areas of interest are: Developing, leading, and evaluating programs; Designing curricula and assessing learners and Designing, implementing, and studying innovations.
