What’s it take to be an Air Force flight doctor? F-35 pilot Justin Lee talks with Dr. Clint Davidson in this edition of The Professionals Playbook

Dr. Clint Davidson served as a USAF Flight Doctor for the 80th Fighter Squadron, known as the HeadHunters. As an expert in aerospace medicine, he kept the pilots in peak mental and physical condition. He also accumulated 72 hours of flight time in the F-16. Clint is now a Neuroradiologist fellow at Duke University.

In this episode, we go into how he selects his doctors, whether he’ll let his kids play football, and how he excels at retaining information. He also discusses how a mentor’s advice changed the way he studies and helped him go from a “B” student in high school to receiving academic achievement honors in both medical school and residency.
