He majored in Neuroscience for his undergraduate degree at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, following this up with an accelerated Master's in Public Health at the University of Memphis where he researched pediatric abusive head trauma. After this he came full circle, ending up at the University of Arkansas for medical school where he continued neuroscience research. He is excited to be joining the University of Washington for his neurosurgical training, where he plans to marry his interests of neurosurgery and global health. In his spare time, Scott enjoys cooking, cycling, and all manner of outdoor activities.
