Early in Joanna Scott’s career, she quickly saw the incredible opportunity dentistry offered her in affecting the health of patients.
“I was in pediatric dentistry for a long time,” she said. “You see a 4-year-old child come into a clinic where they already need to have all their teeth extracted because they didn’t have the toothbrush training they needed for proper oral hygiene. It’s heartbreaking and you can really see how big of an impact you can have.”
斯科特于2008年在华盛顿大学获得生物静力学博士学位。 她教授研究方法论和生物统计学的课程给威尼斯人娱乐城牙科学院的高等教育学生，这些学生已经从牙科学校毕业，正在攻读正畸或牙周病等领域的专业证书。
“I grew up loving math, but I really wanted to use math to help people,” Scott said. “Biostatistics was a beautiful marriage of using mathematical skills to directly impact people.”
她的学生发展能力，以满足他们的学位的研究要求，并学会利用基于证据的牙科与他们的病人。 Evidence-based care enables them to provide their patients with cutting edge care, whether that’s determining the best material or the best technique for any unique case they encounter.
Scott’s passion for numbers is attracting recognition by the dentistry profession beyond 威尼斯人娱乐城. 她获得了美国牙科协会（ADA）和美国协会颁发的基于证据的牙科，口腔和颅面研究领导者奖。 该国家奖项旨在表彰对实施和推进循证牙科的重大贡献。
“These are skills the students can use for the rest of their careers,” Scott said. “They’ll be able to evolve with the industry and make connections with the causes of certain diseases while identifying specific risk factors.”
