About

Ann Scott is a leading figure in interprofessional education (IPE) and simulation-based learning, with a focused commitment to bridging healthcare training gaps in rural settings. Her major contribution lies in pioneering the use of telehealth technology to deliver "remote-in" simulation scenarios, a novel approach that overcomes the logistical barriers of assembling diverse student groups on geographically isolated campuses. This work directly addresses the critical need for collaborative practice-ready clinicians in underserved areas. Her most influential publication, "Simulation-Based Interprofessional Education in a Rural Setting: The Development and Evaluation of a 'Remote-In' Telehealth Scenario" (2019), has garnered 25 citations, establishing a foundational framework for educators seeking scalable, technology-enhanced IPE solutions. By demonstrating the feasibility and acceptability of this model with nursing, pharmacy, and medical students, Scott has provided a replicable blueprint that expands access to high-impact, team-based training. Her research is essential reading for educators and administrators striving to cultivate a collaborative healthcare workforce, proving that distance need not be a barrier to high-quality interprofessional learning.
