John Ziegler, MD
Regional Director of Clinical Affairs – Northern Utah Region

Growing up, Dr. Ziegler lived all over the East Coast, but primarily resided in Massapequa, New York. As a medical resident at Emory University, he visited Utah for a conference and soon found himself returning to the Beehive State whenever he could, officially putting down roots in 1998. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry from Indiana University and a Doctor of Medicine degree from Emory University. Additionally, while at Emory University, he completed an internship and residency, followed by a Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Fellowship and a Critical Care Medicine Fellowship.

As Regional Director of Clinical Affairs for the Northern Utah Region, Dr. Ziegler is primarily involved in identifying and supporting clinical opportunities and preceptor talent within the community for third and fourth year students on their rotations. As an allopathic physician, he is eager to bridge the osteopathic and allopathic approaches to medical education, diagnostics and therapy. Prior to RVU, Dr. Ziegler held a number of clinical and leadership positions in a variety of academic and private practice settings.

Bruce Davey, MD
Regional Director of Clinical Affairs – Southern Utah Region

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Davey received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. After fulfilling a two-year commission in the United States Army Medical Service Corps as a first lieutenant, he received his Doctor of Medicine degree at Northwestern University Medical School in 1972. He completed both an internship and residency while at the University of Utah. Upon completion of his formal education, Dr. Davey established a practice specializing in Orthopedic Surgery in Minnesota, where he practiced for twenty years.

In his new role, Dr. Davey will help to plan programs that help ensure excellent outcomes in the third and fourth year clinical education program through the integration of clinical knowledge and skills, biomedical sciences and osteopathic principles and practices. Other responsibilities include overseeing clerkship rotations, site visits and inspections to ensure quality student experiences, and developing and maintaining positive relationships with community physicians in the Southern Utah Region.
