Dr. Davis graduated from UCLA with a BA in biology. She attended the Drexel School of Medicine after applying through early decision and being accepted.

Dr. Davis has been a physician specializing in obstetrics and gynecology for decades. Although she is doubly boarded in both obstetrics and gynecology and maternal fetal medicine, she has spent the last 16 years of her career working in student health at a large university. Dr. Davis found this latter part of her career quite gratifying since she was able to care for and educate young women, many of whom were newly sexually active, regarding contraception and the prevention of sexually transmitted infections.
She has also served as a Clinical/Teaching Attending at both Cedars Sinai Medical Center/UCLA and USC. Though she retired from clinical practice, she still interviews for the USC School of Medicine and holds a clinical appointment as a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Keck/USC School of Medicine.
Dr. Davis’ experiences as an admissions committee member and medical school interviewer have been some of the most important aspects of her work. She believes that selecting outstanding medical school candidates leads to excellent future physicians.
Throughout her career, Dr. Davis has been passionate about counseling and educating individuals who are interested in or have already started a career in medicine. She has won several faculty awards for the education of both medical students and resident physicians in training. Dr. Davis believes it important that applicants are passionate about entering the field and are also aware of the rigors and stress involved in practicing medicine. She feels that medicine is her true calling, and has always felt so privileged to be a physician.
