Dr. Scott has been actively involved in minimally invasive surgical research since his fellowship experience in 1998. He helped pioneer new techniques and was part of the team of researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center that performed the first laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in Texas (May 1999). He has also published landmark articles in Surgical Education, documenting the transferability of skills acquired using simulators and developing proficiency-based curricula that enhance learning and maximize efficiency. Dr. Scott currently has numerous ongoing research projects in the areas of surgical education and new minimally invasive technologies.
