Five Questions for Scott B. Elliott, CP

Scott Elliot has a dream job for a CP who cherishes international travel, Himalayan trekking, creative engineering, and teaching. The Minnesota native is based in Australia, where he is clinical-education manager for Ossur Asia-Pacific. Elliott develops and delivers education programs based on Ossur product systems to customers and distribution partners in Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, India, and other developing markets. His team develops localized training manuals and comprehensive, hands-on training programs in which learners—some professionally trained and some not—build a complete prosthesis within a training session. He told The O&P EDGE, “You learn more about each country from working with the local teams and amputee population than you could ever learn coming as a tourist, and you are greatly helping to develop local skills and knowledge.”
