Dr. Marcia (Marcy) Faustin is a dual-boarded family and sports medicine physician and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Davis, with joint appointments in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Family & Community Medicine. She serves as co–head team physician for UC Davis Division I Athletics, team physician for Sacramento Republic FC, and previously was co–head team physician for the USA Gymnastics Women’s National Team, including at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
