Michael Lipnick, MD
Professor
Anesthesia
School of Medicine

Michael’s interests include critical care, perioperative care, physiology, medical education and health equity. Michael co-founded the UCSF Center for Health Equity in Surgery and Anesthesia (CHESA - globalsurgery.org), opencriticalcare.org, oxygencalculator.org, and has helped lead multiple global health programs at UCSF including the Anesthesia Health Equity Fellowship Program, the HEAL Global Health Anesthesia Fellowship Program (healinitiative.org) and the UCSF IGHS Global Health Faculty Program. He is currently co-Director of the UCSF World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Emergency, Critical and Operative Care and is an Honorary Lecturer at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda where he has been part of an academic collaboration since 2007. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Michael collaborated with USAID and multiple implementing partners to support critical care and oxygen ecosystem strengthening in multiple settings. He also served as a Commissioner for the Lancet Global Health Commission for Medical Oxygen Security.

Michael continues to pursue interests in physiology research as Co-PI of the UCSF Hypoxia Lab and as the Dive Medical Officer at the California Academy of Sciences. He leads active research projects including impacts of skin pigment and perfusion on pulse oximetry performance (The OpenOximetry.org Project), tools for scaling oxygen infrastructure in resource-constrained settings, as well as outcomes in critically-ill patients with ARDS. He is the Associate Editor for User Experience for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
