Precision Education and Assessment
Research Lab
The Precision Education and Assessment Research Lab (The PEARL) in the Department of Emergency Medicine defines precision in medical education by studying the best ways to individualize training for physicians. We optimize assessment methods to promote learning and leverage technology to reimagine health professions education.

Open Positions
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
The PEARL is seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to join the lab! Expertise and continued interest in machine learning, “big data” in medical education, computer programming, and/or learning analytics would be an ideal fit. Two-year fellowships are available. Interested candidates should send their cover letter and CV to Dr. Michael Gisondi at mgisondi@stanford.edu.
MEDICAL EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP & MEDICAL SIMULATION FELLOWSHIPS
The Department of Emergency Medicine sponsors two education research fellowships for graduates of ACGME-accredited emergency medicine fellowships: Medical Education Scholarship (SAEM-approved) and Medical Simulation. Both fellowship programs are two-years in length and have generous funding in support of a graduate degree in medical education. Our Education Fellows work closely with The PEARL.
