About Us
Advancing Medical Education Through Technology and Discovery
Grover Lab studies how clinicians learn, practice, and perform. We build and evaluate technology that improves training and assessment. Our work integrates medical education, learning science, simulation, and AI to teach, analyze performance and design usable systems to accelerate improvement. The lab’s home is in gastroenterology and endoscopy education, and our methods generalise across health professions.
