Designing for Health: Shan Liu, MD | Emergency Medicine Physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and Author |

In this episode, Dr. Craig Joseph sits down with Dr. Shan Liu, an emergency medicine physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and coauthor of a children’s book written with her daughter. The conversation spans Dr. Liu’s path into emergency medicine, the origin story behind her family’s deep connection to the invention of the modern respirator mask, and how the COVID-19 pandemic inspired a book about history, science, and Asian American identity. The discussion also dives into safety culture in emergency departments, leadership and communication as “soft skills that aren’t actually soft,” and how implementation science shapes real-world healthcare outcomes.
