Dr. Davis' research interests are in the fields of performance improvement and quality, inflammation and sepsis, and trauma resuscitation.
Dirk C. Johnson, MD
Dr. Johnson's clinical interests include bowel obstructions, mechanical ventilation, and solid organ injuries.
Felix Y. Lui, MD, FACS
Dr. Lui's research interests include shock physiology, resuscitation in trauma, pediatric trauma, and surgical infections, including necrotizing soft tissue infections.
