Scott K. Newell, BS, NREMTP - ECC Program Coordinator
Scott is the Program Coordinator for all American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care (AHA ECC) resuscitation training programs at Palmetto Health and through various locations across the local community.
After graduation from Valley Forge Military College, Scott began working as a paramedic while attending Hahnemann University in Philadelphia, and earned a BS in Emergency Medical Service Administration in 1995. He spent the next several years in EMS, ultimately flying with an international jet air ambulance company in west Texas. He is a Nationally Registered Paramedic, and maintains active instructor certificates in ACLS, PALS and BLS. He serves on the South Carolina Regional ECC Committee.
Scott is also an avid general aviation pilot. Living the best of both worlds, he earned his commercial pilot license, and was both the air ambulance Operations Director and a Learjet 35 & 55 first officer at the same company in Texas. With an intimate respect for the parallels between professional flying and resuscitation teamwork, Scott's academic niche is the application of aviation Crew Resource Management to improving patient safety, a team concept at the core of simulation training. He continues active flying in the local aviation community, maintaining his instrument and multiengine ratings. He and his wife Mindy have three children, Austin, Marissa, and Aidan.
