Summary

  • George E. Davis, Jr., M. D., FACP, FACG, is an internist who has practiced at the Augusta Mental Health Institute (now Riverview Psychiatric Center) for 27 years. He majored in chemistry at Cornell University, obtained his medical degree at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston in 1968, and subsequently took specialty training in internal medicine and gastroenterology at SUNY in Buffalo. After 19 years of private practice, he began work in Riverview’s Medical Support Unit and quickly became interested in systemic issues in behavioral health. He and a colleague, Dr. Walter E. Lowell, have applied aspects of artificial neural networks and complexity theory to problems in psychiatry. This research resulted in publications that propose new methods of measuring the quality of psychiatric care and efficiently sizing mental health care delivery systems. Over the past decade he and Dr. Lowell have been interested in environmental modulators of mental illness and are researching the effects of sunlight on human neurodevelopment and lifespan. He resides in Augusta, Maine.
