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.

Curiosity-driven strategist and marketer who turns influence into impact by building communities, elevating thought leadership, and designing content that connects. In my current role as Senior Marketing Manager for Global Channels and Experiences at LinkedIn, I shape the strategy for an executive community that brings together senior talent leaders. 

I build high-value experiences, develop integrated marketing programs, and create content that helps leaders learn from one another and advance their talent priorities. In my previous role on the the Product and News teams at LinkedIn, I led initiatives that spotlighted Fortune 500 executives and industry experts in healthcare and tech. I helped them share their insights and grow their presence on the platform through storytelling frameworks, thought leadership content, and strategic guidance.

Before LinkedIn, I worked across B2B and B2C hyper-growth companies including One Medical, ClassPass, and 1stDibs. I led brand, social, and editorial teams and founded a consultancy that supported clients like Reforge, Covey, Noom, and CellarTracker with marketing strategy. My background in marketing and communications shapes how I build programs, design experiences, and advise leaders on how to show up with clarity and authenticity. 

I am passionate about helping individuals and brands tell stories that spark connection and drive growth. Whether I am shaping content strategies or mentoring others on how to show up online, I believe in the power of authentic storytelling to build trust and community.

📚 Outside of work, I am usually binge-reading, listening to podcasts, or trying new workout classes. Ask me about Tae Kwon Do or my latest dive into acrylic painting. 🥋🎨
