Melissa Davis, MD, MBA
Dr. Melissa Davis is an Associate Professor at Yale School of Medicine, where she also serves as Vice Chair for Medical Informatics in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. She completed her BA in Chemistry and Psychology at Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA. In 2009, she received her medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. Subsequently, she completed a Diagnostic Radiology residency and a Neuroradiology fellowship at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC. Dr. Davis obtained her MBA in 2017 from Yale University with a focus on healthcare management.
Since completing her MBA, Dr. Davis has focused her professional and academic areas of interest on organizational change and innovation within the healthcare space. As a physician, her core objective is to serve the needs of the patient. To wholly serve the patient requires more than the interaction at the point of care, but rather creating and functioning within a system built to support the patient and providers. This has driven the early focus in her career on operational workflows and improving quality within the inpatient and ambulatory spaces through innovative approaches and new technologies.
