Early life and education
Morse was born and raised in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a public school teacher. Morse earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in French in 2003 from the University of Virginia and her medical degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. In medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, she had her first exposure to global health when she worked in a pediatric clinic in Guatemala. Morse also took a year off from medical school to conduct research on tuberculosis in Botswana. Following this, she received an MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2012. She became a Doris and Howard Hiatt Residency in Global Health Equity and Internal Medicine resident at Brigham and Women's Hospital where she worked in Haiti, Rwanda, and Botswana.

Career
Michelle Morse began her career with Partners in Health in Haiti (Zanmi Lasante). Her work in Haiti started with her residency training as part of the Doris and Howard Hiatt Residency in Global Health Equity and Internal Medicine. She worked on earthquake relief efforts, responding to the cholera epidemic, and women's health and quality improvement projects. In 2013, she became the Deputy Chief Medical Officer of the organization, the Director of Medical Education, and the Advisor to the Medical Director of Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais. She currently sits on the Board of Directors of Partners in Health.

During her residency, Morse co-founded a nonprofit, EqualHealth, that aims to support Haitian healthcare workers through changes to medical and nursing education. EqualHealth, where she is a Co-Director, offers leadership training to health workers in the form of social medicine courses in Haiti and Uganda.

Some of the activism Morse is involved with through EqualHealth includes the Campaign Against Racism that she cofounded with Camara Jones, past president of the American Public Health Association. It is a network of 23 chapters in 10 countries, with 250 active members, "uncovering racial capitalism and reimagining a future where sociocultural, political and economic systems work towards health equity, rather than against it." These efforts were supported by a $100,000 grant from the Soros Equality Fellowship in 2018.

While serving in her role as Deputy CMO in 2015, Morse also co-founded Social Medicine Consortium with Michael Westerhaus, a global coalition with the stated aim of advocating, educating, and conducting research using the lens of social medicine. Returning to North America and completing her Master's in Public Health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Morse assumed the position of Assistant Program Director for the Internal Medicine residency program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She later worked as a Clinical Instructor and then an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School.

Morse has worked in the area of health policy. From September 2019 to January 2021, she served as one of the six professionals selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy fellow in Washington, DC, and worked with the Ways and Means Committee, Majority Staff, in the U.S. House of Representatives. In February of 2021, she was made the first Chief Medical Officer of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and succeeded Dr. Torian Easterly as head of the Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness. Her primary role as CMO is addressing gaps between public health (and the Department) and the healthcare sector. She oversees CHECW's work to understand health inequities and end disparities relating to premature mortality, racial inequity, and chronic disease, among others.

She is also a physician in Boston at Brigham and Women's Hospital, alongside Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital and in Haiti.
