Hi there! I’m Mason, and I’m third year medical student at Stanford. Born and raised in LA, I’ve always been interested in urban health disparities and improving care. Having recently developed an interest in surgery, I’ve come to realize that trauma surgery/critical care research is an excellent way to bridge a hands-on career with a population-wide impact. Please reach out!

Jesse Tai is a fourth-year medical student at Stanford University School of Medicine. His current research focuses on optimizing the management of rib fractures in elderly patients and reducing associated complications. As an American Society of Hematology Medical Student Physician-Scientist Award recipient, he previously investigated how metabolites secreted by acute myeloid leukemia alter immune cell function. He aspires to become a trauma surgeon and conduct research that advances clinical care, and he is excited to begin to do so as co-president of SWAT
