John Mayfield, M.D.
USF Student

Since residency began, he was able to pursue advanced medical imaging and computer vision subjects through Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering which helped to elevate the quality and span of his research capacity. With near completion of the Master’s degree maintaining a graduate GPA of 4.0, he has been given the opportunity to advance his research further through the University of South Florida where he is currently a candidate for a Ph.D. in Medical Engineering under Dr. El Naqa.
It is his goal to become an agile and competent physician-scientist in Academic Radiology with hopes to impact the future of the budding AI/Machine Learning field as well as medical image processing in hopes to provide greater access, efficiency, and reliability of multimodal Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology.
