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.

Vivianne Tawfik
Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy overall research interest is to understand how the immune system interacts with the nervous system after injury to promote the transition from acute to chronic pain. In my clinical practice I care for patients with persistent pain that often occurs after minor trauma such as fracture or surgery. Using basic science approaches including whole system immune phenotyping with mass cytometry and genetic manipulation of peripheral and central immune cells, we seek to dissect the temporal and tissue-specific contribution of these cells to either promotion or inhibition of healing.

Andrea Traynor
Clinical Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioI completed my training at Stanford University with an Anesthesiology residency in 2003 and Obstetrical Anesthesia fellowship in 2004. I worked in a general private practice for two years at a community hospital in Colorado and was involved in creating protocols for OB related concerns such as non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy and skin to skin contact in the OR during cesarean delivery. I then returned to academic practice and worked for eight years at the University of Colorado and the Colorado Institute for Maternal and Fetal Health. I have collaborated extensively with the Stanford Anesthesia Informatics and Media Lab to create innovative educational tools. These include a major anesthesiology textbook, the Manual of Clinical Anesthesiology, and a comprehensive online learning program for anesthesiology residents called Learnly. I've been the OB anesthesia fellowship director at both the University of Colorado and Stanford University. I truly love guiding fellows from interested residents to consultants in OB anesthesia. My research interests include medical education and topics related to the Obstetrical Anesthesiology workforce.

Melissa Ann Vogelsong
Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Vogelsong is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University where she is involved in clinical work, education, and research. She completed her residency and dual fellowship training in Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at Stanford and now attends in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) and cardiac ORs. This clinical work continuously reveals the ability of modern medicine to overcome seemingly insurmountable injury and illness, yet she believes that optimal care helps a patient to return to the highest level of functioning possible. Thus her research centers around finding ways to optimize the quality of life for survivors of critical illness, particularly those supported on mechanical circulatory support and those who have suffered cardiac arrest. She has received funding from the Zoll Foundation and serves as a member of the American Heart Association's Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science Subcommittee.
Additionally, Dr. Vogelsong serves as Associate Medical Director for Life Flight, Stanford's air medical transport service and the only hospital-based flight program in California. She is actively engaged in efforts to enhance the provision of critical care within Stanford Hospital, and serves on multiple committees including the Medical Emergency Response Committee (MERC), ECMO Task Force, and CVICU Continuous Quality Improvement group.
When not at work, Dr. Vogelsong is a huge fan of life in California and can often be found hiking, on a mountain bike, in her Sprinter van, or talking to her many goats, llamas, and horses. -

Feng Xie
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioFeng Xie is currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University School of Medicine, and he recently graduated with a joint Ph.D. degree from Duke University and the National University of Singapore. He previously obtained his bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2017. His research focuses on developing novel informatics methodologies and applying them to various healthcare domains, including children’s health, critical care, and emergency medicine. He extensively utilized large-scale multimodal data including electronic health records (EHR), clinical notes, and medical signal data, to address critical healthcare challenges. In his Ph.D. and postdoctoral training, he developed multiple advanced methods and informatics tools, including AutoScore, MIMIC-IV-ED benchmark, and NeonatalBERT. Used by other researchers globally, some of them have been applied to a wide range of clinical applications including risk prediction and model benchmarking, resulting in dozens of publications by other users. Specifically, AutoScore software has been downloaded more than 10,000 times from the R CRAN platform. and the original paper has garnered over 70 official citations for about 2 years.
Over 5 years, he published 8 first-author research papers in high-impact journals in the field, with a total impact factor of over 60. His extensive collaborations with clinicians, engineers, and health service researchers also resulted in 12 co-author papers. -
