Teaching & Work Experience
Teaches Physical Therapist Assisting I and II, and Pathophysiology

Professor Scott considers teaching in both the classroom and lab as an interactive experience. He sees his position as an educator as one of facilitation and encouragement in learning and applying concepts and skills. He finds great joy in watching students' progress in their knowledge and abilities along their journey to becoming Physical Therapist Assistants.

Work experience as a PTA since 2002 in inpatient, inpatient rehab, outpatient and aquatic settings. He has taught within the PTA program since 2020.

According to Professor Scott, the most rewarding part of working as a PTA is helping others regain their physical function as well as improving the overall quality of life for patients and their families.
