Bio
Sherman is an emergency medicine resident physician serving patients at Stanford Hospital, Kaiser Permanante Santa Clara, and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Before his career in medicine, Sherman spent time as a software engineer, digital health product manager, and early-stage healthcare investor. He was named to MedTech Boston’s “40 under 40 Healthcare Innovators” for his work on a national care coordination platform serving ACOs, health systems and payers. He was also an early clinical product leader at Pearl Health supporting ACO Reach entities and value-based primary care enablement and Counsel Health focused on designing AI-enabled virtual care pathways. He received an MD at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai through the support of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship where he started MD+, a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to empowering aspiring physician-innovators.
While in medical school, he was awarded the Mount Sinai Health System Population Health Fellowship where he designed an integrated primary care and behavioral health model to decrease total cost of care for mental health co-morbidities. At Stanford, he serves as a clinical administrative liaison on a number of committees and workgroups including the Stanford Hospital @ Home Program, Stanford Healthcare Alliance (an employer-based health plan), and reducing unnecessary ED utilization via increasing utilization of alternative sites of care. He cares deeply about leveraging his background in technology to support underserved patient populations and building a more equitable, efficient, and cost-effective healthcare system.
