About Michael Walters

I am an assistant professor of surgery in the University of Florida Division of Acute Care Surgery. My clinical interests include surgical and critical care of trauma patients, delivering surgical care in austere environments and complex abdominal wall reconstruction surgery with care of enterocutaneous fistula.

I earned my medical degree at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and completed general surgery residencies at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

I am currently a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve Medical Corps and my active duty service in Afghanistan includes deployments with the 909th, 1980th and 915th Forward Surgical Teams and the 94th Combat Support Hospital. My military honors include National Defense Service Medals, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, NATO Afghanistan Service Medals, Army Service Ribbons, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal with M Device and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with two stars. I am a member of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States and the American College of Surgeons.
