Key Objectives for this Session:

Dr. Kevin Scott will present his insights into the IME examination process for the cervical/mid/lower back; and the criteria he uses to determine temporary impairment opinions. 

Dr. Scott is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery. A Fellow of both the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, he is currently on staff at Tampa General Hospital and Legacy Surgery Center. With over two decades of military service in the U.S. Army (1982–2005), Dr. Scott achieved the rank of Major and served as Chief Orthopaedic Surgeon at the 48th Combat Support Hospital in Afghanistan and Guthrie Ambulatory at Ft. Drum, NY. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Ft. Wayne Medical Education and further honed his expertise with a fellowship in minimally invasive spine surgery at the Laser Spine Institute. Dr. Scott is dedicated to providing advanced surgical care to help patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.
Practicing in the area of Workers’ Compensation requires familiarity with the Workers’ Compensation statute, corresponding regulations, Appellate Division and Court of Appeals case law, and Administrative Board Panel Decisions along with the guidance, publications, and other documents from the Workers’ Compensation Board – including subject numbers, treatment guidelines, impairment guidelines, FAQs, etc.  We recognize that our young and new members may be struggling to learn all of this information and likely feel confused navigating the day to day demands of this practice. 

From this background, the IWBA's Young Attorney Section encourages involvement and education opportunities for our members.  The Young Attorney Section of the IWBA is open to all members that have been admitted for less than 10 years or who have been practicing in the area of Workers’ Compensation Law for less than ten years.

The Young Attorney Section meets quarterly via zoom.  Each meeting will include an educational session followed by a Q&A session with an experienced attorney. This will be a “no such thing as a dumb question” environment and participation in the dialogue is encouraged.  It will also be an opportunity to get to know colleagues across the state and to become more involved in the IWBA.
