Scott is from Connecticut originally. He graduated from Brandeis University in
1977 with a B.A. in History, graduated from medical school at the University of
Rochester in 1981, spent his Internship at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence,
Rhode Island, and then completed his training in Internal Medicine and in
Rheumatology at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., in 1987.
He came to Minnesota to begin Rheumatology practice at Park Nicollet Clinic in
St. Louis Park. There, he also served as Chair of the Rheumatology Department
for approximately 12 years, participated in numerous clinical studies relating to
the treatment and management of Rheumatoid arthritis, and was part of the
teaching and organizing faculty for many CME offerings. He served as chairman
and a member of the Medical Ethics Committee at Methodist Hospital for many
years. After a nearly 34-year career at Park Nicollet, he spent approximately 2
years working part-time at the New Ulm Medical Center in New Ulm, Minnesota.
Within a short time of moving to Minnesota, Scott and his wife Sydney realized
the State was unique in its protection of undeveloped lands and in fostering the use
of these areas. These sites enrich the lives of many Minnesotans and allow for
easy access to natural areas and widespread use and appreciation of our natural
resources.
In addition to experiencing the natural beauty of Minnesota, Scott and his
wife love to travel across the United States and internationally. Scott enjoys
cooking, photography, reading, and sampling many of the cultural amenities of the
area, and staying close to and connected with their children and grandchildren
who were born and raised here.
