Division Director, Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Scott Russell received his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia in 2002. He completed his pediatric residency (2005) and pediatric emergency medicine fellowship (2008) at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. He began his career at the Medical University of South Carolina in 2008 as an assistant professor of Pediatrics. He served as the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Medical Director from 2011 until 2018 and has been the Division Chief of Emergency Medicine since 2016. He currently serves as an Associate CMO, Children's Health, the Vice Chair, Clinical Operations, Department of Pediatrics and the Senior Medical Director of Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital. He is the proud parent of a 13-year-old daughter who continues her quest to be a professional cheerleader despite his objections and a sports-crazed 10-year-old son. His ultimate goal is to partner with the leaders of MUSC Health to create a comprehensive health care network for the children of South Carolina.
