Scott B. Cohen, MD, MPH, is an Associate Professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). He specializes in Cardiology/Cardiovascular Medicine with a focus on Adult Congenital Heart Disease. His clinical practice emphasizes individualized care for patients with congenital heart defects, including those requiring echocardiography and complex cardiovascular management.

Education and Training:

• MD: St. Louis University School of Medicine (2003)
• Residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics: Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University (2003–2007)
• Fellowship in Adult Cardiovascular Disease: Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University (2007–2010)

• Fellowship in Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Children's Wisconsin (2011–2012)

Research Interests: Dr. Cohen’s work focuses on improving outcomes for adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Key areas include:
- Multimodality imaging guidelines for CHD follow-up care
- Neurocognitive impairment and quality of life in CHD patients
- Thromboembolic and arrhythmic complications of CHD
- Utilization of administrative health databases for population-level CHD research

Key Contributions: His 2020 Appropriate Use Criteria paper established imaging standards for CHD follow-up. Collaborative studies with the Alliance for Adult Research in Congenital Cardiology (AARCC) address thromboembolic risks and arrhythmia trends in Fontan patients. He has also pioneered neurocognitive screening tools for CHD adults.
