Bio
Dr. Michelle Lin is an emergency physician-scientist working to make emergency care more patient-centered, accessible, and equitable. Her active NIH-funded research projects use mixed methods and Medicare and Medicaid data to improve the implementation of acute care delivery innovations; develop new quality measures based on what matters most to patients; and improve post-ED discharge care for high risk patients. Her prior funded work has examined value-based care in emergency medicine; drivers of hospitalization during ED visits; and physician workforce retention.
Dr. Lin leads the development of quality measures used nationally by emergency physicians in federally mandated payment programs through her leadership roles in the American College of Emergency Physicians and Clinical Emergency Data Registry. She was previously a fellow and external consultant to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation on projects evaluating access to care within advanced alternative payment models.
Dr. Lin has received several national awards for her work, including including the 2024 American College of Emergency Physicians Policy Pioneer Award and 2021 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Early Career Investigator Award. She completed residency at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City and fellowship in Health Policy Research at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where she also completed a Masters in Clinical Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
