Welcome to the Lipscomb-Chapman Orthopaedic Alumni Society

The Lipscomb-Chapman Orthopaedic Alumni Society (LCOAS) is an alumni society established in honor of founders and Emeritus Chairs Paul Lipscomb, M.D., and Michael Chapman, M.D. All residents, fellows, interns, and faculty who have trained at UC Davis are eligible to join.

To get involved, please reach out to Emily McNaughton at emcnaughton@ucdavis.edu.

Lipscomb-Chapman Orthopaedic Alumni Fund

Your support and advocacy for the transformative power of training in orthopaedic surgery at UC Davis is crucial as we strive to maintain the highest quality resident education in the country. We kindly request all Lipscomb Alumni to consider donating to the Lipscomb-Chapman Orthopaedic Alumni Fund. This newly established fund enables all alums to support the needs of current residents and fellows as they train to become the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons.

Get connected. Get involved.

Update your contact information

Alumni involvement is essential for the ongoing success of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. It serves as a bridge to our rich history, establishing a dynamic network that fosters connections for current residents and has the potential to impact future generations. You can stay connected through our social media channels and also receive news and announcements via email.
