Get to know Dr. John Davis

John Davis, MD, MS, MA

Clinical Assistant Professor
Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

What is your primary professional focus as it relates to our mission areas (clinical, research and/or medical education)?
I am a clinical track pulmonary and critical care physician.

What drew you to UW–Madison and the Department of Medicine? 
I moved to Madison in 2015 from Colorado to start medical school, and have been here ever since. I've received wonderful support by the Department of Medicine and the APCC Division during my training, and feel very lucky to be able to work here at UW!

What are you most excited about during your first year with the department in this role?
I'm very excited to spend a large fraction of my time in the Middleton VA Hospital, and working in Veterans health. I derive a great deal of fulfillment caring for the patients and look forward to the opportunities the role offers.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?  
My wife Rachael and I have spent the summer traveling, and look forward to doing more in the coming year. I also spend time hiking and trail running, and entering an occasional race or two.

Favorite piece of advice from a mentor or inspiring figure in your life?
Someone told me once a secret to success is to be nice and answer your email. I try to (at least) be nice; I'm working on the emails.
