Lael Davis, MD

Rural Training Program Resident, Rupert

Dr. Kong Davis grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, and now considers Teton Valley, Idaho, home. Before joining the residency program, Kong practiced as an Urgent Care and Family Medicine provider in the Ozarks. His experiences in clinical practice strengthened his passion for holistic, patient-centered care and his commitment to serving communities where access to healthcare can be limited. He attended Ross University School of Medicine.

Kong was drawn to Family Medicine because of the opportunity to care for the whole person and build meaningful relationships with patients and their families. He is passionate about rural medicine and hopes to continue serving underserved communities throughout his career. He also hopes to advocate for Assistant Physicians and expand opportunities for healthcare professionals to provide care in areas with limited access to medical services.

Kong chose Idaho State University’s Family Medicine Residency because of the strong mentorship, excellent facilities, and supportive community of residents. He has especially enjoyed being part of a team that encourages growth while preparing residents to provide high-quality, full-spectrum care.

Outside of medicine, Kong enjoys taking advantage of Idaho’s lakes and rivers. Whether he’s spending time outdoors or casting a line, he is always happy to have a fishing buddy along for the adventure!
