Now eight years into his formal training as a surgeon, Graeme is dedicated to bringing performance science to surgeons, surgical trainees, and the broader medical community.

Currently, Graeme is a Cardiothoracic Surgery Fellow at Stanford Health Care with a focus on Thoracic Surgery. After graduating from Yale University School of Medicine, he completed training as a General Surgeon at Stanford Health Care where he developed his interest in understanding how human performance contributes to the development of training surgeons. He is compelled by the notion that performance science, used by so many other high performing arenas, can be applied to the medical and surgical world.

Graeme grew up in Upstate New York and attended Middlebury College in Vermont where he majored in Neuroscience. During these years he developed as a ski racer, ski patroller, cyclist, and swimmer while spending much time adventuring throughout New England. His roots in neuroscience anchor his interest in the psychological and physiological basis of performance science.

While developing a research study to understand the physiologic and cognitive factors that may impact performance in surgery - especially during times of skill acquisition and translation to novel surgical technologies - Graeme discovered Arena Labs. Immediately grabbed by Arena’s deep mission and thoughtful approach to aligning performance science and techniques garnered from other high performance arenas in service of medical professionals, Graeme has been ecstatic about the opportunity to grow with them. He currently serves as a Clinical Performance Advisor.
