Description
Dr. Dave Scott began his career as an electrical engineer, working for 10 years at the Department of Defense, then decided to attend veterinary school. He practiced small animal vet med and emergency care for several years, but eventually followed his heart into wildlife medicine. He again went back to the Department of Defense, but continued to practice wildlife medicine on a volunteer basis.A paid full-time staff vet job in wildlife medicine (very rare opportunity) opened up at the Carolina Raptor Center and he worked there for about 14 years, helping the center grow into an internationally recognized raptor facility.Upon retiring from the Carolina Raptor Center, Dave decided to focus most of his attention on growing and refining RaptorMed, the database he had been building on the side for close to 15 years while at the Carolina Raptor Center. Early on, RaptorMed was mostly a tool Dave made for himself to make his job easier, but it quickly became apparent that the software could be helpful to a wide range of veterinary medicine facilities and rehabilitators. Dr. Dave is now on a mission to help other practitioners and facilities increase efficiency so they can help more animals and share data, generating valuable epidemiological insights.
