Dr. Scott was known both locally and nationally for his contributions to academic medicine and to the field of obstetrics and gynecology. After serving 31 years at UNMC, he retired in 1995 and was appointed professor emeritus. Dr. Scott chaired the UNMC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1974 to 1987 and served for many years on the executive council of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
\n

Carl Smith, MD, chair and Olson Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, said the success of the department stands on the shoulders of people like Dr. Scott.
\n

“He led the department through some challenging times and did so with grace and poise,” Dr. Smith said.
\n

Described as the epitome of an academic physician, Dr. Scott was a superb gentleman whose kindness extended to everyone he met, he said.
\n

“I had the privilege of knowing Joe for 45 years and watched him encourage and support his faculty. We will miss him terribly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Louise and the rest of his family,” Dr. Smith said.
