Calvin Gruss

Calvin received a B.S. and M.S from the University of Pennsylvania in Chemistry and Biochemistry. He then went on to Vanderbilt for medical school and residency in anesthesiology with a brief stint spent at UCSF completing a research fellowship using conjugated gold nanoparticles to treat epithelial cancers. He will complete his anesthesiology training in the summer of 2019 and join faculty within the Department of Anesthesiology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

He has completed projects with Drs. Wanderer and Ehrenfeld (VUMC informatics faculty) dealing with clinical informatics during medical school and residency. He is looking forward to honing those skills and developing a broader, new set of skills through his MSACI. His interests are predominantly at the intersection of policy and management of healthcare, but he is excited for broader exposure to the field of informatics and learning about its utilization/capabilities throughout the hospital and medical center.
