Professor Of Medicine And VA Faculty
About David E Winchester
My name is Dr. David Winchester, and I am a professor in the UF College of Medicine departments of medicine and radiology. I practice general cardiology, focusing on noninvasive imaging, including echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and cardiac computed tomography.
My research interests include health system science and educational scholarship and I have participated in international cardiovascular trials such as PROMISE, ISCHEMIA, and VALOR-QI. I am the lead author of the American College of Cardiology 2023 Appropriate Use Criteria for Imaging in Chronic Coronary Disease and serve as the assistant chief of cardiology at the Malcom Randall Veterans Administration Medical Center. I earned bachelor’s degrees in microbiology and sociology from the University of Florida. In 2005, I received my medical degree from the University of South Florida.
After medical school, I completed my residency in internal medicine at the University of Virginia and then returned to UF for my cardiology fellowship and master’s in clinical and translational science. I have received several awards for research and teaching and have served in national leadership roles with the American College of Cardiology, the American Medical Association and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology. I am a native of Tallahassee, FL.
