Margaret Lin-Martore, MD
Associate Professor
Emergency Medicine
School of Medicine

As an educator, Dr. Lin-Martore is interested in developing innovative curricula around Pediatric Emergency Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) applications and is the series editor of the PEM POCUS series at Academic Life in Emergency Medicine (ALiEM). She is interested in examining and defining competency in POCUS and in procedural skills education, as well as motivation for life-long learning. Dr. Lin-Martore is a member of the UCSF Academy of Medical Educators.

Dr. Lin-Martore's other research and academic interests focus on the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS for various applications, as well as its effects on clinical care including length-of-stay and patient satisfaction. She has also examined health literacy and numeracy in the emergency department population.

Dr. Lin-Martore attends in the Pediatric Emergency Department at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Mission Bay and in the Emergency Department at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.
