After completing her residency at USC LA County Teaching Hospital, Dr. Davis took up a position with the World Health Organization (WHO) in Asia. Her work contributed to the eradication of smallpox in India by 1977 with the global eradication of the disease following a few years later in 1980.
Dr. Davis’ book shares her memories of her time working for the Epidemic Intelligence Service in Atlanta, playing a vital role in global outbreak investigations against malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, HIV/AIDS, and Avian Influenza. She would spend the next 30 years on the frontline of the battle against disease, working for UNICEF, USAID, and the WHO. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/corneliaedavismd

Davis was awarded the prestigious 2022 Humanitarian Service Award by the UCSF School of Medicine for her contributions to the health of local communities in Asia and Africa.
