Scott Medler

Scott Medler is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physician Assistant Studies at St. Bonaventure University, specializing in anatomy curriculum development and medical education. He actively engages in research exploring skeletal muscle biology across species, including crustaceans and mammals, with a focus on fiber types, neuromuscular function, and physiological adaptations.

His research spans muscle plasticity, neurophysiology, and comparative physiology, as evidenced by publications on topics like hybrid muscle fibers, local anesthetics' effects, and biomechanics in ghost crabs. Medler utilizes advanced tools like the Anatomage Table for lab assessments and integrates research into undergraduate education. He has presented seminars on anatomy curriculum design and contributes to clinical assessment methodologies.

Medler's work intersects physiology, molecular biology, and medical education, with notable projects on muscle differentiation, gill muscle function in bivalves, and myosin heavy chain polymorphism. While no specific awards are mentioned, his scholarly output reflects expertise in muscle design and functional morphology. He can be contacted at Smedler@sbu.edu.
