Dr. David Stevens....C.E.O. Christian Medical & Dental Associations

Dr. David Stevens is the Chief Executive Officer of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, the nation's largest faith-based organization of doctors. He is also the former lead physician for Samaritan's Purse. Since his area of expertise is bioethics, he is often the "go-to guy" when the media wants to engage the Christian community in debating issues such as cloning, abortion, and physician-assisted suicide.
