Chief Science Officer
NACHC
Dr. Shin spent over three decades at George Washington University’s (GWU) Milken Institute School of Public Health. There he served as a tenured associate professor of health policy and management and was the founding Research Director of the Geiger Gibson Program in Community Health. While at GWU, Dr. Shin successfully secured tens of millions in research grants and helped launch the Geiger Gibson Program in Community Health, which established groundbreaking collaborations with health centers, Primary Care Associations, research partners, and NACHC.
Dr. Shin has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed journals, blogs, government reports, and briefs on safety net financing and economic impacts, health policy, workforce, primary care integration, health information technology, and social drivers of health. Dr. Shin has many seminal works, including “Medicaid and Community Health Centers at 50: An Enduring Relationship Essential for Health System Transformation,” published in Health Affairs, which underscored the urgent need for payment methods that better reward quality of care and ongoing critical funding support for community health centers to address the complex primary health care and social health needs of the communities they serve. This influential publication, along with many others on alternative health center payment models and value-based approaches, serves as a key reference for other researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers. His collaborative research on health center cost-savings and economic contributions is particularly notable, reinforcing the importance of sustained investment to policymakers.
Dr. Shin received a Bachelor of Arts in biology from Oberlin College and a Masters of Public Health and a Doctor of Public Policy from George Washington University.
