He also taught at Boston University’s Family Practice Residency. He served, subsequently, as Hawaii’s Chief of Children’s Mental Health where he participated in pioneering “wrap around services,” and innovative preventive interventions. 

Dr. Foster applied these experiences consulting with multiple Northern California counties, notably in developing a first of its kind Children’s System of Care, which integrated Children’s Mental Health with Education, CPS, and Juvenile Justice under one umbrella to facilitate coordination and integration of services. His areas of expertise include utilizing integrative approaches to impact  brain-behavior relationships with nutrition, neuro-biofeedback, and, with traditional and non-traditional medical interventions, family systems therapy, and innovative trauma resolution therapies for highly effective and efficient treatments for resolving PTSD and installing empowering beliefs and resources. He enjoys sharing his clinical experience supervising and learning from clinicians in training.

Consulting to Dr. C. Boyd James at The Center for the Study of Violence and Violence Prevention at UCLA-Drew University targeting inner city youth led to forensic evaluations of dozens of murderers to further understand the causes of violence. Dr. Foster has written dozens of declarations used in State and Federal courts. He consulted in the Oklahoma City Bombing case, and has made television appearances describing his experiences with the Unabomber and the Freeway Murderer.

Dr. Foster is applying the learnings of these experiences with his many years of psychiatric clinical and therapeutic experience to implement innovative, integrated approaches to transform high risk abandoned and abused children who have failed multiple placements. He is the author of the highly anticipated book Transforming Traumatized Children. In collaboration with a local university he and his colleague Dr. John Finnick are validating their methods and creating training modules to teach others how to replicate their results transforming traumatized children.

David is working with and mentoring with some of the most successful entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world, and is developing an online platform that is designed to create a global impact to enable children and youth to learn the hidden secrets of top performers in every field so that they can align with life enhancing values and assumptions that make it possible to fulfill their true desire and life purpose, and  develop the life skills and leadership abilities required to guide the next generation of true value producers and abundance creators.

Utilizing cutting edge science in energy medicine led him to study quantum physics and to experimenting with simple technologies based on the inventions of Nicola Tesla to capture ambient energy from the potential energy fields in which we are emerged. This led him to reexamine his encounters with ancient Hawaiian energy healing practices and to a deeper study of the science behind these Hawaiian Huna practices.

Most recently, David is working with his colleague Dr. Fred Moss on the applications and hazards of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and on how to facilitate the transformation of our disease management medical system into a genuine health promotion system.
