Glenn Davis, MS

Biography

I am a learner centered medical educator with a background in residency training and a history of innovation. My research interests include assessment of learning outcomes and osteopathic distinction. I am a champion of Structural Competency in medical education and social justice in medicine. I am here because I love to serve the students and community of Touro University California. In my personal time I am a father, an official with USA Swimming, a dedicated music fan, and a pinball enthusiast, who also loves to travel.
