Dr. Emily Silverman

Dr. Silverman is an academic hospitalist at the Zuckerberg San
Francisco General Hospital.


Dr. Silverman completed her undergraduate degree at Brown
University in 2009 where she majored in History of Art and
Architecture, briefly flirting with a career in the art world
before heading down the pre-med path. She then completed her
medical degree at Johns Hopkins University in 2014, followed by
her residency in internal medicine residency at the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 2017.


In addition to practicing hospitalist medicine, Dr. Silverman is
the host and creator of The Nocturists, a live medical
storytelling event and podcast for physicians and other
healthcare providers. You can think of it as medicine’s version
of the Moth. She is also the author of a series of prose
poems about her experiences as a medical resident, many of
which are published in the The Examined Life Journal of the
University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Her writing is
animated by a deep-seated curiosity about science, human nature,
and what it means to live and die well.


In addition to her podcast’s website at thenocturnists.com, Dr.
Silverman can be found at her personal website at
