Jill Ann Goslinga, MD, MHP, is an Assistant Professor in the UCSF Department of Neurology where she cares for patients with ALS and other neuromuscular disorders, teaches fellows and other trainees, and does both clinical trial and epidemiologic equity-focused research. After growing up on a farm in north-central Minnesota, she studied biochemistry at the University of Minnesota then moved to Harvard University where she received both a medical degree and a Master of Public Health (health policy concentration). As a medical student, she spent a summer in Lusaka, Zambia to work on schistosomiasis school-based health screenings, then another summer in Lausanne, Switzerland where she analyzed surface-EMG data in a biorobotics lab. She moved to San Francisco in 2016 where she started as a visiting medical student in the UCSF neurology subinternship, stayed at UCSF for internship, neurology residency, and neuromuscular/EMG fellowship, and remains at UCSF as faculty in the neuromuscular/ALS division. Her research includes clinical trials for ALS and population-based health equity research on the impact of air pollution on ALS disease progression as well as strategies to reduce geographic health inequities in access to multidisciplinary ALS care. She is a recipient of the American Academy of Neurology’s Clinical Research Training Scholarship and the UCSF Dean’s Scholar Program in Population Health and Health Equity.
