Dr. Rabin Gerrah is a clinical assistant professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford, primarily operating out of one of our Stanford affiliate locations, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, Oregon.  Dr. Garrah highlights the unique multi-dimensionality, bandwidth, and skills of our Stanford surgeons in further more, in our affiliate outreach hospitals.  The Stanford faculty is busy publishing on topics such as Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling and Virtual surgery; a multiscale computational model while bringing the highest quality clinical care directly to patients in their own communities.
