Garrett Booth is a member of his core home team, Team Booth, which is also made up of wife Kat and rambunctious daughter Piper.  Before joining this team, Dr. Booth trained at UCLA for his undergraduate studies, followed by graduate school at Johns Hopkins, and ultimately medical school at the University of Arizona.    Dr. Booth completed his residency in pathology at UCLA Medical Center and his transfusion medicine fellowship at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland.  His primary research foci are on the identification of nefarious substances in the US blood supply and analyses of the pathology workforce.  When not engaged in his research, Dr. Booth enjoys painting with his daughter and mountain biking with his family. 

Sumita B. Khatri, MD MS is Professor of Medicine and Pulmonary/Critical Care Physician in the Respiratory Institute at Cleveland Clinic. She is Director of the Asthma Center and Vice Chair of the Respiratory Institute where she is engaged in various external partnerships such as with the American Thoracic Society and the American Lung Association (ALA). Her research and advocacy roles range from addressing public health, air pollution and health, climate change, and health disparities. A source of great fulfillment for Dr. Khatri is her mentoring activities and conversations, which she hopes guides women (and men) in medicine advance their careers to their self-defined, full potential.

“Dr. Chwen-Yuen Angie Chen is a graduate of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine and went on to complete a year of Psychiatry Internship at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco before finishing Internal Medicine training at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, CA in 2008.  Afterwards, she went on to pursue a clinical fellowship in Neurological Surgery at UC Davis, which gave insight into the nature of back pain and the surgical consequences of treating back pain. She is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and by the American Board of Preventive Medicine in Addiction Medicine.

She has conducted research in methamphetamine, cocaine, and MDMA pharmacology at the Addiction and Pharmacology Research Laboratory (California Pacific Medical Center) founded by Drs. Mendelson and Galloway, and has practiced within many addiction medicine settings, including the Kaiser CDRP system, the Sequoia Recovery Center (when helmed by the late Barry Rosen, MD) and at a methadone clinic in Santa Cruz.

Since 2015, she has been clinical faculty at the Stanford University School of Medicine in the Division of Primary Care and Population Health, currently appointed as a Clinical Associate Professor and Medical Director of the Primary Care Chemical Dependency Clinics. Her practice in the academic setting integrates chemical dependency and addictions services within Primary Care, supervising learners from undergraduates to Fellows. She has also trained medical scribes who have gone on to medical school.

She is involved in healthcare advocacy and physician wellbeing within the American College of Physicians and is currently Governor of the ACP Northern CA Chapter.  In August of 2021, an assembly bill (AB541) she co-authored, mandating smoking cessation treatment in substance use disordered treatment facilities, was signed by Governor Newsom. She serves as the Editor of the California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) Newsletter (since 2012) and has been on the planning committees of CSAM State of the Art and Board Review Conferences since 2012, recently serving as Chair of the Board Review Course. She is also Chair of CSAM's Communications Committee serving on the CSAM Board in that capacity. For almost a decade she served as a California Medical Association Specialty Delegate advocating for improving addiction treatment and promoting physician well-being.

She has co-authored peer reviewed publications on physician suicide and written on physician substance use disorders and is passionate about helping physicians recover and reintegrate into practice as well as advocating to change laws and licensing processes that stigmatize physicians who suffer mental health and substance use disorders.

Her passion for treating those with substance use disorders began more than 31 years ago with her own recovery journey as an undergraduate film student at New York University in the late 1980's. She later came into medical training by way of Tibetan Buddhism, motivated to be properly trained as a healthcare professional while living and volunteering at a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1994-95.  While there, she realized that so much of illness is affected by our mental and spiritual condition and that disease and health needed to be addressed both through mind and body.

Born in Japan to Taiwanese parents, she was raised in the New York City area, and in her spare time she enjoys surfing, yoga, reading, writing, violin playing and time with family.”
