MIKHAIL CHERNOV

Mikhail Chernov, MD, PhD, is a physician, academic, researcher, and healthcare leader whose career has combined clinical medicine with the study and management of healthcare organizations. His work has focused on healthcare delivery, clinical operations, physician workforce, organizational performance, and the relationship between management systems and medical practice.

Drawing on decades of experience in academic medicine and healthcare leadership, Dr. Chernov writes about how economic, technological, and organizational forces are reshaping modern healthcare—and what those changes mean for clinicians, institutions, and patients.

In Efficient—and Fragile: Why Healthcare Cannot Be Managed Like a Factory, he examines a central paradox of contemporary healthcare: how efforts to make complex systems increasingly efficient can also reduce the capacity they need to absorb uncertainty and remain resilient.
