Richard Davis, M.D., professor in the Division of Maternal-Fetal MedicineRichard Davis, M.D., can count on one hand the number of places he’s practiced medicine — in fact, just on one finger.
Davis joined UAB in July 1973 as a resident — then called interns, he says — in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, where he’s stayed for 45 years. This week, Davis, now a professor in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, will be honored for those four-and-a-half decades of service to UAB.
One other will be honored for 45 years of service — Sally Whitley from the Department of Pediatrics — and six will be honored for 40, including Donna Andrews, program manager in the University Honors program; Harriet Amos Doss, Ph.D., associate professor of history; James Jordan, instrument and control tech in Building Automation and Controls; Michael Loop, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Optometry and Vision Science; Anthony Schimizzi, associate professor and cataloguing librarian in UAB Libraries’ Library Technology and Technical Services department; and Johnny Scott, M.D., professor of radiology.
A list of others being honored for 20 or more years of service also is online.
