Biography
Hello! I am David A Leon, MD MS, assistant clinical professor at University of Caifornia Davis Health.
I am the first graduate from the combined EM-Anesthesia residency at Johns Hopkins University, the only combined EM-Anesthesia residency in the country. I moved to the West coast and I am now dual appointment at University of California Davis, where I am a assistant clinical professor in both departments of Emergency Medicine and Anesthesiology, splitting my time between the OR and the ED. I have interest in trauma and resuscitation, with particular interest in blood product utilization including whole blood and adjuncts to hemorrhage control, as well as the application of regional anesthesia in the ED with particular focus on thoracic nerve blocks. In and out of the ORs and ED, I am engaged with trauma and critical care, in the hopes of advancing resuscitation from the moment of injury throughout a patient's course in the hospital. I am an ATLS instructor and certified in REBOA placement. I am Hispanic and am interested in increasing Latino representation in medicine. I hope to pursue a critical care fellowship to furher expand my critical care knowledge. It is my pleasure and honor to learn together with providers from all fields, in the pursuit of improving patient outcomes.
