Dr. Scott M. Paul is a Diplomate of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with subspecialty certification in Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine.
He received his Bachelor of Engineering Science in bioengineering from the Johns Hopkins University in 1980. Dr. Paul attended the New York State Student's Program at the Sackler School of Medicine of the Tel Aviv University in Israel and received his medical degree in 1985.
Dr. Paul began his post-graduate medical training at Washington University in St Louis and completed residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. He continued at Albert Einstein to complete a fellowship in Pediatric Rehabilitation at the Rose F. Kennedy Center.
Prior to joining the NIH in 2001, Dr. Paul was in private practice in Montgomery County, Maryland, with Rehabilitation Medical Director responsibilities at number of local hospitals and rehabilitation facilities.
He previously served as Chief of Physical Medicine at Dayton Children's Medical Center and Director of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Hospital for Sick Children in Washington, DC.
Dr. Paul is the Research Coordinator for the Medical Staff Section of the Rehabilitation Medicine Department. He is the principal investigator of a protocol investigating the use of computerized, three dimensional surface imaging to study persons with scoliosis and other trunk deformities.
In addition, he serves as an associate investigator in a number of NIH institute and center protocols including research on osteogenesis imperfecta, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease, proteus syndrome, and neurofibromatosis type I.
He has authored a number of abstracts, articles and book chapters relating to childhood onset disabilities. He served as an associate editor for PM&R: The journal of injury, function and rehabilitation from 2012 to 2018 and served as the inaugural pediatric editorial board leader of the AAPM&R's online knowledge base, PM&R KnowledgeNOW.
Dr. Paul is also an adjunct assistant professor in the departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he developed and directs a series of courses on Rehabilitation Engineering.
