  • Dr. Stone received his undergraduate and medical training at the University of Utah and University of Utah School of Medicine. After completing postgraduate training in internal medicine and pediatrics at Duke University, he was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship training grant from the Pediatric Scientist Development Program where he completed work in developmental molecular genetics. His basic science research work from both his undergraduate and post-doctoral training resulted in several publications.

    Dr. Stone left academic medicine for several years to pursue a private medical practice in adult and child primary care healthcare in rural Utah where he had an incredible experience delivering healthcare to an under-served population for 10 years, returning in 2003 to the University of Utah School of Medicine on the faculty in the Department of Pediatrics. Since returning to the University, Dr. Stone has provided clinical care to hospitalized children at Primary Children’s Medical Center as a board-certified pediatric hospitalist.


    Dr. Stone also resumed a research career developing skills as a clinical and health services researcher through additional training including earning a masters of science in clinical investigation, completing the advanced training program in quality improvement at Intermountain Healthcare, and completing a Translational Comparative Effectiveness Research Scholar fellowship. Through these efforts, Dr. Stone has completed several research projects, with several still ongoing. He has frequently presented research findings at national meetings, and has published multiple scientific articles with his colleagues in research.


    Dr. Stone has been and continues as a co-investigator on multiple federal and private grants studying aspects of quality improvement dissemination, asthma care in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, improving care of children with medical complexity, and comparative effectiveness studies utilizing large national databases.


    Dr. Stone has also been significantly involved in initial development of the introduction to physical diagnosis course for the University of Utah medical school as part of the curriculum implemented in the fall of 2009, and has been awarded teaching recognition from both the pediatric residents and the undergraduate medical class.
