Dr. Gharahbaghian is an academic emergency physician who completed her fellowship in Emergency Ultrasound in 2007 at Stanford and remained on the Stanford faculty to serve as Director of the Emergency Ultrasound Program and Fellowship for 10 years. Now, she serves as Medical and Quality Director of Emergency Medicine. Her interests include ultrasound in medical education, quality improvement, resident education, and simulation-based ultrasound training, including procedural skills training and case-based learning for ultrasound interpretation and integration. Her research involves the study of various point-of-care ultrasound applications in the management of critical patients, in the screening of trauma patients, and in its education through simulation models.
She is a leader in the national bedside ultrasound educational impact, has led several very successful educational innovations in emergency ultrasound, including her internationally-known blog, SonoSpot.com with thousands of followers on Twitter (@sonospot) where she continues to engage with the FOAMed community. She is also the first to create an online ultrasound-focused case-based educational opportunity through gamification with SonoDocGame.com.
Due to her belief that adding ultrasound can enhance learning of the human body and disease while quickening diagnoses and life-saving interventions, she brought UltraFest, a free national medical student ultrasound symposium to Stanford, and has travelled internationally to provide educational sessions on ultrasound integration into emergency practice at various developed and underdeveloped countries and rural village clinics.
She has directed various ultrasound CME workshops and continues to instruct at several successful national CME ultrasound workshops, including at the national scientific assembly for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and Stanford's Point-of-Care Ultrasound Workshop.

Il Dr. Rahul N. Desai, radiologo interventista muscoloscheletrico con una formazione di tipo fellowship, ha fondato Restore PDX Interventional Spine & Sports Medicine nel 2013 con la missione di ridefinire l'assistenza sanitaria muscoloscheletrica. Questo studio, unico nel suo genere, consente a un gruppo di medici con diverse specializzazioni mediche di concentrarsi sulla salute e sul benessere dei pazienti in un modello realmente collaborativo.
Nel 2008, il Dr. Desai ha iniziato a espandere la sua attività di ecografia muscolo-scheletrica e di interventistica vertebrale con l'uso di terapie ortobiologiche all'avanguardia, come il PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma), le cellule staminali e i fattori di crescita derivati dalla membrana amniotica. Ha iniziato a trattare i disturbi dei tendini e dei legamenti, per poi estendersi alla patologia delle articolazioni e della colonna vertebrale. Ha seguito i risultati dei pazienti dopo le terapie di iniezione di sostanze biologiche rigenerative con centinaia di scansioni MRI Tesla 3 prima e dopo, che hanno documentato chiaramente la guarigione dei tessuti, direttamente correlata al miglioramento clinico. Il Dr. Desai ha ottenuto riconoscimenti nazionali e internazionali nei campi della radiologia MSK e dei trattamenti ortobiologici. Avendo eseguito migliaia di terapie iniettive rigenerative, è un esperto riconosciuto a livello internazionale nel campo del PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma), delle terapie cellulari e della medicina rigenerativa. Il suo impegno comprende numerose conferenze, presentazioni, pubblicazioni e ricerche cliniche.
