Spencer Dorn

I am a gastroenterologist, physician leader, clinical administrator, informatics physician, academic, and advisor.

Committed to the greater good, I write here and at Forbes to connect the dots, spark thoughtful conversations, and learn from and connect with others who share a passion for improving healthcare.

Sitting at the intersection of clinical practice, operations, and technology, I enjoy explaining how healthcare works and imagining how it can work better. 

I am fascinated by how artificial intelligence and other digital technologies are reshaping medicine. I am also particularly interested in redesigning specialty care.

I aim to integrate mind and body in both clinical practice and life. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, music, sports, reading, and swimming, most of all in the ocean.

Professor of Medicine

I care for adults with acute and chronic GI conditions – particularly those with disorders of gut-brain interaction (e.g., IBS) and motility (e.g., gastroparesis) – in inpatient, outpatient, and procedural settings. 

I've served as site-PI for 20+ clinical trials and co-authored national constipation practice guidelines. I write and present on topics related to care delivery.
