Scott J. Schulte, 1952–2007
Well-known by hundreds of applicants for radiology residency training over the past 10 years, Scott J. Schulte, vice chair for education, radiology residency program director, and associate professor of radiology at the University of Washington (UW) died at a young age of acute coronary thrombosis on April 20, 2007. We are now without the talents of an excellent clinical radiologist, an extremely committed residency program director, and a close and long-time friend to many.
Our loss is shared with Scott's wife Deborah, daughter Allison, and son Peter as well as his brother, sister, and parents. Debbie supported Scott in his work, especially as it related to the UW residents. A tradition at the Schulte household was the annual residents' welcoming dinner each July. Typically, Scott would be socializing with the residents while Debbie, a world-class gourmet cook, was managing the kitchen and making sure that all were well nourished.
Scott was an Alpha Omega Alpha graduate of the University of Washington School of Medicine. After residency in radiology at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, he entered private practice for a short time before returning to UW for a fellowship in gastrointestinal radiology.
Scott joined the UW faculty in 1989 and became director of abdominal imaging at the Seattle Veterans Administration Medical Center. Although Scott was the author of several key and frequently referenced articles on biliary and pancreatic radiology, he chose early in his career to focus his work on radiology education. It was teaching and mentoring medical students and radiology residents that truly gave him his greatest happiness and professional satisfaction. Scott's personal goals were rarely focused on material needs and were most often focused on the personal satisfaction he derived from building the careers of future radiologists.
Pursuing his goals of excellence in radiology education, Scott sought administrative positions in his department, and in 1991, he became director of medical student education. He was appointed director of the UW radiology residency program in 2000, where he became known as an extremely strong advocate for excellence in residency training and gave individual attention to the needs of each resident. For his instructional efforts, Scott received many teaching awards. In his honor, the University of Washington Radiology Teacher of the Year award now bears his name.
Scott held memberships in Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Omega Alpha, the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists, the American Roentgen Ray Society, the Radiological Society of North America, the Association of University Radiologists, the Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology, and the Association of Program Directors in Radiology. His presence at these society meetings was always marked by friendly interactions in the lecture rooms and sincere camaraderie during the social and free time activities, which often included his family. His thoughtful and devoted presence and charm, wit, and unique smile will be missed by all.
