As president and dean of Morehouse School of Medicine, I am proud of Davon Thomas, M.D., for many reasons.
Dr. Thomas recently graduated from Morehouse School of Medicine at the top of his class with a 4.0 grade-point average. His step 1 and step 2 national board exams were the highest in the class, surpassing national averages.
