The purpose of the Eastern Pulmonary Conference (EPC) is to plan and organize CME meetings on clinical topics in Pulmonary Medicine.  EPC blends the interactivity characteristic of small regional conferences together with the cutting edge science characteristic of large national meetings.  The educational goal is to share clinically relevant information which improves the diagnostic accuracy and the effectiveness of treatments with practitioners who treat pulmonary diseases. Physicians, PAs, and NPs are invited to attend.

EPC is a sizeable regional pulmonary conference that plans and conducts annual clinical and scientific CME meetings on clinical topics in Pulmonary Medicine. EPC blends the interactivity characteristic of small regional conferences with the cutting-edge science characteristic of large national meetings. Its educational goal is to share clinically useful information that improves the diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness of treatments with practitioners who treat pulmonary diseases.  Its content is most relevant to pulmonary specialists, but attendance is open to all physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

I have been blessed to have a career spanning over 21 years of experience on the administrative and clinical side of medicine working in adult, neonatal, and pediatric critical care, transport, DME, pulmonary function testing, and ambulatory care medicine. Two years ago, I was fortunate to be offered the opportunity to join the MaineHealth Pen Bay Ambulatory Care Practices working with the Maine Partners for Health in developing a Grant Funded Asthma Program. In addition to working at Pen Bay, I work at MaineHealth Lincoln Health Critical Care Hospital and Central Maine Medical Center as a Respiratory Care Practitioner where I provide both clinical and diagnostic services for patients of all ages. I have had the privilege of being an instructor at the RN Critical Care, High Acuity,  Respiratory Medication, COPD and Oxygen Equipment courses for Central Maine Medical Center.

Bio

Dr. Davis received his BS in Biomedical Science from Lynchburg College in 2008 and his PhD in Physiology and Biophysics with a focus in Pulmonary Medicine from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2017. He has been a licensed Registered Respiratory Therapist since 2005. 

Since 2007, Dr. Davis has studied airway pH homeostasis and non-invasive respiratory biomarkers. He has developed and optimized several breath biomarker collection devices, techniques, and assays. His graduate work focused on airway epithelial function and signaling, specifically on airway-derived Tissue Factor and its role in local wound healing. He then joined the faculty of Virginia Commonwealth University where he studied treatment options for rare airway diseases such as Plastic Bronchitis and the effects of airway pH imbalances.

His research at IU is focused on airway pH regulation, airway disease pathophysiology and therapeutics, and novel exhaled biomarkers. He also provides respiratory and pulmonary medical training and service in Liberia, West Africa. He is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Herman B. Wells Center for Pediatric Research and at the IU School of Medicine Division of Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy, and Sleep Medicine. He serves as the Chair of Exhaled Breath Aerosols and Condensate for the International Association of Breath Research.
