Tarascon Team

Chris Davis Executive Publisher, Medicine Jones & Bartlett Learning

Chris began his career as a book sales rep in 1984 and has worked for four top STM publishers, all in the Boston area. For the past ten years, Chris and his team at JBL have been building a world-class medicine publishing program specializing in oncology, cardiology, infectious disease, emergency medicine, and other important clinical fields for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. He developed the highly-praised 100 Questions and Answer Series of concise paperback books as well as the Johns Hopkins Patients' Guides series, both designed to educate and empower patients and their families about specific illnesses and medical procedures. The 100 QA series, which now comprises well over 100 volumes, features a number of best-selling health books with sales over a half million copies each.
