Training that shaped a field
Dr. DeVore earned his medical degree from the University of Utah, followed by an internship in internal medicine, a residency in obstetrics and gynecology, and a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at Yale University. It was at Yale — where he was the recipient of a research grant from the Thrasher Research Fund — that he began his pioneering research in the ultrasound evaluation of the fetal heart.
Dr. DeVore has worked with GE Ultrasound to develop a program called fetalHQ, which analyzes the size, shape, and function of the fetal heart with a precision no previous tool could achieve.
Decades of practice and consultation
He began his professional career as an associate professor at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, followed by a term as corporate director of maternal-fetal medicine at Intermountain Health Care in Salt Lake City, Utah. For more than 26 years he has been a full-time consultant assisting community-based obstetricians in the Los Angeles area with their most difficult fetal problems.
He has also worked as a consultant for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Perinatology Research Branch, teaching young investigators fetal echocardiography. He served for many years as a clinical professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Publishing, peer review, and recognition
Dr. DeVore is an active reviewer for a number of prestigious medical journals and has served as the area editor for the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers in numerous medical journals and has contributed to over 30 textbooks of medicine.
He is the recipient of the Joseph H. Holmes Clinical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, and the Ian Donald Gold Medal Award from the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology — two of the highest honors in the field of fetal medicine.
