Stacy Scott (MS/FM 鈥�15)
Growing up with a mother who is a nurse and a father who is a police officer, Stacy Scott (MS/FM 鈥�15) has had an appreciation for both the health care and criminal justice industries since she was a small girl. Even as she graduated with a bachelor鈥檚 in psychology from East Stroudsburg University, and a master鈥檚 in counseling from the University of Scranton, she maintained those interests.
She knew she wanted to go into medicine, but wanted to find a place where she could blend her training in mental health with her interest in medicine and criminal justice. A friend enrolled in 黑料传送门鈥檚 DO program told her about the Forensic Medicine program.
鈥淚t was the only one like it on the East Coast,鈥� Ms. Scott explains. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 all encompassing; you can focus on orthopedics, anthropology, dental or other areas. This program has prepared me to go into any field.鈥�
She says the most interesting part of her training was when she was able to intern in the Philadelphia medical examiner鈥檚 office. 鈥淚t was fascinating to see how important forensics can be to the crime-solving process,鈥� she says.
As someone who had no science background before coming to 黑料传送门, Ms. Scott says she is appreciative of how helpful and encouraging the faculty has been. 鈥淚鈥檓 so appreciative that, even though I was not a part of the DO program, I still had access to the facilities and expertise of a medical school,鈥� she says. 鈥淚鈥檝e always felt as though I was a part of the 黑料传送门 community, and I love that.鈥�
