Benjamin S. Brooke, MD, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Surgery, Biomedical Informatics (adjunct), Population Health Sciences (adjunct), and Chief of the Division of Vascular Surgery. He grew up in Salt Lake City, receiving his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Utah before heading east to complete his internship and residency in General Surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. During his surgical residency, Dr. Brooke received his Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He then completed a fellowship in Vascular Surgery at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Dr. Brooke has a broad clinical practice focused on the open and endovascular treatment of aortic, visceral, carotid, and lower extremity arterial disease. He also provides dialysis vascular access, surgical treatment for thoracic outlet syndrome, and both open and catheter-based treatment of lower extremity venous insufficiency. In addition to clinical responsibilities, Dr. Brooke also leads surgical health services research efforts in the University of Utah’s Department of Surgery, serving as section chief of the Health Services Research Section and director of the Utah Intervention Quality and Implementation Research (U-INQUIRE) group. His research is focused on models to improve care coordination for surgical patients during transitions of care by leveraging health information technology (HIT), implementation science, as well as population health analytics. Dr. Brooke’s work has been funded by grants from PCORI, the National Institutes of Health, the VA, and the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT.

Dr. Kraiss has received a number of research and teaching awards and has been a regular reviewer for research proposals submitted to the NIH, the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). He has served as Chair of the SVS Research Council and Chair of the Executive Committee of the SVS Patient Safety Organization (VQI) and is current Chair of the SVS Quality Council. He is past-president of the Rocky Mountain Vascular Society and the Western Vascular Society. His current research interests center on frailty in vascular surgery patients. Why Utah? It’s a wonderful place to practice and live. The University of Utah is a top-tier institution situated in a beautiful state drawing patients from numerous surrounding states. We practice vascular surgery at the highest level with a healthy balance of endovascular and open procedures. When you are off duty, there isn’t a better place to be whether it’s snowing or the sun is shining.
