David Ramos ’84 is one of the physicians profiled in the fall 2013 issue of Lifeline, a publication of the Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System in California.
An emergency medicine physician and chair of the department of emergency medicine at Salinas Valley Memorial, Ramos earned his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 1991, after graduating from Wichita State with a bachelor’s degree in nursing in 1984.
“My BSN really has been the basis of how I went forward from Wichita,” he says. “That’s why I still wear my class ring proudly.”
Ramos completed an internship in general surgery at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, in 1992, and then a residency in emergency medicine at the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash., in 1997. He served as an Army doctor before joining the SVMHS medical staff in 1999. As a member of the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Governors, he helps raise funds to support hospital services.
As the Lifeline magazine article notes, “Dr. Ramos continues to go above and beyond the call of duty in caring for patients, the hospital and the community.”
