December 2024;17(6):11
In October, ABR Trustee Leslie Scoutt, MD, received a Distinguished Clinical Career Award from the Yale School of Medicine, where she is professor of radiology and biomedical imaging and medical director of the Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory.
Dr. Scoutt is highly regarded locally, nationally, and internationally for her knowledge and expertise in diagnostic ultrasound. In addition to being a superb clinician, she is a highly effective educator and mentor and has received numerous teaching and mentorship awards from the Yale diagnostic radiology residents as well as teaching awards from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU). In her four decades at Yale, she has trained generations of sonographers and many vascular surgeons, cardiologists, medical and surgical physicians, and emergency physicians on a wide variety of ultrasound applications.
Dr. Scoutt was instrumental in starting the ultrasound non-invasive vascular diagnostic lab that is embedded in the vascular clinic at Yale Medicine. By providing on-the-spot continuation of care, the lab decreases repeat visits for innumerable patients.
