Bio	Dr. Scott joined Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in July, 2004 as Medical Education Consultant in the Office of Medical Education Research and Development (OMERAD) and Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine. His primary responsibilities include faculty development; instructional development and assessment; and academic leadership and curricular change outcomes. His professional background includes administration of health professions training in: higher education; Emergency Medical Services; Area Health Education Centers; and academic health centers (e.g., pre-med; undergraduate medical education; graduate medical education and continuing medical education). Teaching experiences include courses in schools of medicine and public health. Most recently, he directed a number of campus-wide faculty development initiatives at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). Of particular note, was the successful "Scholars in Education" program where clinical and basic science faculty engaged in active scholarship for improved teaching and leadership faculty development. The eighteen-month program produced many graduates (n = 50) who have attained vital educational and administrative advancement. In addition, he organized graduate medical faculty development teaching skills and core competency assessment workshops in the Departments of Surgery, Family Medicine, Pediatrics and most notably in Ophthalmology. May of these efforts have been sustained through interdisciplinary teaching and research partnerships. Also, an instructional program of basic teaching principles (Educational Dimensions Series) attracted a broad audience of campus professionals and faculty (n= 120) who acquired teaching skills for diverse learners in these brief teaching sessions. He initiated the Residents-as-Teachers program for fourth year medical students (n= 65) and PGY1-4 residents (n = 24). Finally, he instituted a Community Faculty Development teaching series in educational technology for East Texas medical preceptors (n = 38) who learned valuable methods for using web-based teaching and distance learning resources in their rural clinical practice settings. In Colorado, he conducted health profession needs assessments for the Colorado Trust, authored math/science learning competencies for the Colorado State Department of Education and managed a National Science Foundation curriculum reform initiative in math/science for the Denver Public School system. During this time, he was commissioned by the DHHS Region Nine, to conduct an epidemiologic study of health behavior change processes in rural, federally-funded community clinics. Finally, he directed the Colorado Community College System's health professions training section for post-secondary nursing school staff development. Pertinent professional and research interests include: medical faculty development of clinicians and basic scientists in teaching, educational research, competency assessments and collaborative leadership practices. Major grant-funded initiatives for health profession training include: Emergency Medical Services and Health Professions Resource Administration (US Dept. Health and Human Services); National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (US Dept. of Transportation); and Math/Science Centers of Excellence (National Science Foundation). Numerous professional presentations and publications include: health professions training; medical education research; faculty development and educational technology.
