Michael W. Chapman
Michael W. Chapman, a UC Davis undergraduate, professor emeritus and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, received the Jerry W. Fielder Memorial Award for extraordinary service to the alumni association, the UC Davis Foundation and the university. Under his leadership, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery became one of the most respected in the nation, and he is recognized as one of the founding fathers of modern trauma surgery. Chapman served on the foundation's board of trustees and continues to serve as chair emeritus of its executive committee. Generous as a volunteer and donor, he has recently agreed to be one of the founding members of the cabinet heading up UC Davis' first comprehensive campaign.

UC Davis Health System is proud to be home to medical, nursing, family nurse practitioner / physician assistant, public health and health informatics students and to also be the internship site for pharmacy, nutrition and other programs. Improving the health of our communities requires that we bring together these perspectives, and UC Davis is well positioned to do so.
