Dr. Bryant Lin, MD, MEng, is a Stanford primary care physician, educator, and researcher who places people—patients, families, providers, and trainees—at the heart of medicine. A trailblazer who blends technology with human connection, his work spans developing and testing novel medical technologies, advancing precision and population health for Asian communities, and weaving the humanities and arts into health care. He co-founded CARE (Center for Asian Health Research and Education), directs Stanford’s Medical Humanities and Arts program, and leads initiatives that connect storytelling, culture, and care. From the Consultative Medicine Clinic for medical mysteries to innovative shared-decision tools and Generative AI in medicine, Lin’s career bridges cutting-edge science with compassionate, human-centered care. In this episode, we explore the human core of medicine in an era of rapid tech advancement, and how storytelling, humanities, and the arts inform compassionate care. We discuss the role of AI and precision health in serving diverse communities, and what it means to live fully with illness through creativity and everyday sunshine. You’ll hear practical, humane approaches to making healthcare more collaborative and patient-centered, along with the inspiration behind his book, Sunshine: An Exploration of Living When You Are Dying.
