Welcome New Residents

Stacey Crawford Keel, MD, MBA

Stacey comes to us from Ohio, where her father is a radiologist, which may have sparked her interest in this field. After a successful career at Northwestern, she completed her medical education at Dartmouth Medical School while simultaneously pursuing her MBA at the Tuck School of Business. She plans to pursue a career influencing medical education by integrating the organizational behavior and general management skills of the MBA into the curriculum for physicians-in-training. In her free time, she indulges in her love of animals by volunteering at her local humane society, as well as taking care of her own dog and two cats. She is a big fan of outdoor sports and enjoys traveling, especially to visit her extended family.

Bao Do, MD

Bao comes from the University of Iowa but grew up in Silicon Valley, where he was heavily influenced by technology. However, he chose to study biochemistry and economics at the University of California, Davis, over electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, because the last thing he wanted to do was sit in front of a computer all day. Alas, fate has caught up to Bao as he pursues radiology. Ironically, he is currently developing a "negation" search algorithm with his friend Andrew Wu that explicitly finds the exact opposite of what a user wants. Bao's other interests include web programming, the NBA, and sushi. Bao will be joining our third-year class in July.

Chivonne Harrigal, MD

Chivonne was born in New Orleans and also grew up in Bakersfield, Denver, and Dallas. She earned her BS and MD degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. She began her residency at the University of Arizona, but she is transferring to our program to complete it. Chivonne will join us July 1, 2008, as a second-year resident. When she has time, she pursues her interests in running, scuba diving, cooking, and traveling.

Albert Hsiao, MD, PhD

Albert is happy to join his radiology colleagues after a year of general surgery internship at Stanford. After studying science and engineering at Caltech, he chose to enter medical school at the University of California, San Diego, where he completed a PhD program in bioengineering. He spent much of this time studying math, physics, and computation, visiting his soon-to-be wife at Stanford, training in martial arts, playing tennis, and surfing. He eventually completed medical school, got married, adopted cats, and spent a productive year learning general and subspecialty surgery.

Michael JJ Kim, MD

Michael was born and raised in Nutley, New Jersey, where he stayed close to home for his undergraduate career at Rutgers University, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in genetics. Afterwards, he attended Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City, where he developed his interest in radiology and met his fiancee. "JJ" recently became engaged, surprising his fiancee with a loudspeaker balcony proposal where they first met at Barnes and Noble in Nutley. For fun, Michael enjoys many sports including tennis and golf, sharing new experiences with friends and family, and learning about public policy issues.

Deborah Lee Abelson, MD

Debbie, from southern California, went to the University of Southern California for her undergraduate degree. She received her medical degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, David Geffen School of Medicine. When not working, Debbie enjoys spending time with family, exploring the Bay Area, travelling abroad, and learning guitar.

Jared Narvid, MD

Born in California, Jared attended Yale University as an undergraduate. He earned his medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco. When not involved in research, Jared entertains himself by bicycling, playing tennis, roasting coffee, and playing jazz guitar.

Srihari Sampath, MD, PhD, MPhil

Srihari is a southern Californian. He completed his BA and MD degrees at Cornell University; his MPhil at the University of Cambridge; and his PhD at the Rockefeller University in New York. He is now excited to return to the Palo Alto underground, where he plans to pursue his interests in radiology, the Lakers, and indie rock. Srihari joins us at Stanford with his twin, Srinath Sampath, who is also in radiology.

Srinath Sampath, MD, PhD, MPhil

Srinath, a native Californian, earned his BA at Cornell University. He went on to complete his MPhil at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom; his PhD at the Rockefeller University in New York; and his MD at Cornell University Medical College. When asked to describe himself, Srinath offered the following: "When not actively having my life's dreams appropriated by my brother, I like to relax listening to classic and indie rock--either that or surfing PubMed. And though I don't always drink beer, when I do, I prefer Dos Equis." Srinath is here with his twin, Srihari Sampath, who is also in radiology.

Anobel Tamrazi, MD, PhD

Anobel started out in the Bay Area and attended San Jose State University for his BS. He earned his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and his MD from the University of Illinois College of Medicine. He did his internship on the East Coast before returning to California for his radiology residency. When he gets a break in his schedule, he enjoys traveling and photography.

Amy White, MD

Amy is a returning California native. After earning her BS at the University of California, Santa Barbara, she studied for her MD at Georgetown University School of Medicine. She is sure to find a welcome home for her interests here, as both she and her husband are avid cyclists. In her remaining spare time, she enjoys practicing yoga.
