About

I'm Austin Schoeffler, an emergency medicine physician and Clinical Informatics Fellow at Stanford University. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I've always been driven by a desire to combine clinical medicine with technology to make a meaningful impact on patient care.

My work sits at the intersection of emergency medicine, artificial intelligence, and healthcare innovation. I'm currently leading research on physician–AI teaming through an ARPA-H funded initiative and studying the impact of ambient AI scribes on clinical workflows with support from a Microsoft grant. Through the Stanford STEPP program, I evaluate and facilitate partnerships between AI companies and academic health systems.

Beyond clinical work and research, I advise early-stage digital health companies through Scrub Capital Collective and serve as informatics lead for the Stanford Resident Safety Council. I'm passionate about mentoring the next generation of physician-innovators and believe the future of healthcare lies in thoughtful integration of technology with clinical expertise.
