Grace Scott

About

Grace Scott is a leading voice in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, with a focused research program dedicated to improving patient care through shared decision-making and innovative surgical education. Her landmark work, “Development of an Online, Patient-Centred Decision Aid for Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer in the Transoral Robotic Surgery Era” (2017, 15 citations), directly addresses the critical choice between radiotherapy and emerging transoral robotic surgery (TORS). By creating a tool that clarifies treatment trade-offs, Scott empowers patients to actively shape their own care, a contribution that has influenced clinical counseling protocols. Equally impactful is her pioneering “Novel High‐Fidelity Peritonsillar Abscess Simulator” (2016, 14 citations), which introduced a realistic, low-risk training model for junior residents. This work, presented at the prestigious Emergencies in Otolaryngology Bootcamp, has been lauded for bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and hands-on emergency management. Through these dual contributions—enhancing patient autonomy and refining surgical training—Scott has established herself as a practical innovator whose work directly improves outcomes and safety in head and neck surgery.
