His efforts were essential in LRMC’s verification as the first American College of Surgeons (ACS) Level II trauma center outside of the United States in 2007. He was appointed Chief, LRMC Trauma Program in 2009 and led its ACS Level II re-verification in 2010, and its elevation to ACS Level I status in 2011.

He held a faculty appointment as a Clinical Associate Professor of Surgery with the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Dr. Fang received his undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and earned his medical degree (cum laude) from the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He completed his general surgery training at the combined United States Air Force/University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio training program. He performed a Critical Care fellowship at San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium. 

Dr. Fang is a member and holds leadership and committee positions with various organizations, including the American College of Surgeons, the Society of Critical Care Medicine, and the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma. He is also a lifetime member of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States.
