Michelle P. Lin, MD, MPH, MS, is an associate professor at Stanford University.

She earned her medical degree from Northwestern University, completed residency at Bellevue Hospital and New York University in 2013, and completed fellowship training in health policy research at Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2015. Dr. Lin's work focuses on health policy, access to care, quality of care, health equity, and workforce diversity.

Dr. Lin's research examines the structural factors that drive patients to seek emergency care and develops solutions to improve outcomes, using mixed methods and Medicare and Medicaid data. That information is then used to study acute care delivery innovation, patient-centered quality measures, and post-emergency department discharge care for high-risk patients. She also studies value-based care, hospitalization during emergency department visits, and physician workforce retention.

Her leadership roles include chairing the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Quality Measure Development Committee, serving on the board of trustees of the Emergency Medicine Foundation and the board of governors of the Emergency Medicine Data Institute, and contributing to the Academic Emergency Medicine Journal editorial board. Her recent honors include the 2025 ACEP Policy Pioneer Award and the 2021 SAEM Early Career Investigator Award.
