ABOUT THE PRACTICE

After completing his undergraduate studies at the at University of Pretoria (UP) in 2003, Dr Devan Scott went on to achieve his level one trauma training at the Johannesburg Gen Hospital. After working in this hospital for some time, Dr Scott pursued a career as a touring doctor working at the world’s leading medical and security assistance company, International SOS (ISOS), doing international medical air evacuations.

Following this exposure, he continued towards developing his surgical training. After completing his basic training, he acted as a medical officer at a secondary hospital, GF Jooste Hospital in Mannenberg on the Cape Flats.

Later Dr Scott joined the Cardiothoracic unit at Tygerberg hospital. It was after this exposure to the field of cardiothoracic surgery that he felt compelled to expand his skill set. He sub-sequentially joined the junior surgical program at Wits University in 2007, working mainly in trauma surgery and the Intensive Care Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath.

Two years later, Dr Devan Scott enrolled at Wits University in 2009 to pursue his specialist training in cardiothoracic surgery, completing his FC Cardio (SA) degree in 2016.
