THE DM DAVIS VISITING PROFESSORSHIP
Through the generosity of Mr. John O'Donnell, a patient of Dr. Ken Brownstein and trustee of the charitable Maneely Trust, Mr. O’Donnell made a sizable contribution to the Department of Urology in the name of Dr. David M. Davis. With this gift, the David M Davis Visiting Professorship was established in 1981.
Dr. David Melvin Davis was the fourth Chair of the Department of Urology at Jefferson Medical College from 1935 to 1951. As an investigator, teacher, clinician, and authority in urologic surgery, Dr. Davis became known throughout the world. Shortly after his arrival, the Department of GenitoUrinary Diseases (founded in 1904) changed its name to the Department of Urology.
In 1946, a Professorship in Urology was established under the bequest of Henry Reed Hatfield as a memorial to his father, Nathan Lewis Hatfield. Dr. Davis was its first recipient. He was also the first recipient of the Hugh Hampton Young Award by the American Urological Association in 1969. In addition to his memberships in a galaxy of scientific societies, he was President of the Medical and Surgical Association of the Southwest (19341935) of the Mid-Atlantic Section of the American Urological Association (19411945). He held honorary memberships in Urologic Societies of Britain, Greece, Mexico, and Argentina.
Under Dr. Davis‘s leadership, advanced training in Urology was established. The first residencies at Jefferson started in 1937 in Obstetrics, and the Department of Urology established one in 1939. World War II caused a delay in residency programs with the first urology resident graduating in 1948 (see page 19).
In 1948, an arrangement with Professor John H. Gibbon, Jr. provided a year of training in General Surgery before beginning three years in the Urologic
Residency. Dr. Davis greatly improved the standard of care in the Urology Ward and Curtis Clinic. In addition to more than 130 journal articles, Dr.
Davis wrote a textbook, Mechanisms of Urologic Disease (1953), after his academic retirement. He designed a cystoscopic-roentgenographicfluoroscopic table constructed in Philadelphia by the Franklin X-ray Corporation. His particular interests were in hypospadias, hydronephrosis, and early diagnosis and radical operations for carcinoma of the prostate and the famous "Davis Intubated Ureterotomy." 30 Year in Review

During the DM Davis program, Dr. Scott Hubosky gave a memorial in honor of Dr. Demetrius Bagley. It is most fitting that in 2015 Dr. Hubosky became the Demetrius H. Bagley Jr. Professor of Urology. For more information on the career of Dr. Bagley, see page 67. Dr. Badlani is presented with the DM Davis commemorative plaque. He is shown here with Dr. Gomella and Dr. Whitney Smith, Assistant Professor of Urology who completed the FPMRS fellowship at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, WinstonSalem, NC, under Dr. Badlani.
