| Short biographical notes (300 words) | Patrick Knott has worked clinically as a physician assistant in orthopaedic surgery for more than 20 years. His practice focuses on pediatric and adult spinal deformity, and his clinical research has been in this area as well. He teaches at Rosalind Franklin University, where an interprofessional approach to medical education is featured. Consequently, he helps educate physicians, podiatrists, nurses, physician assistants, physical therapists, psychologists, and a number of other health professionals together in interprofessional teams. His research focuses on the assessment of the patient with spinal deformity, including recently the ways to reduce x-ray exposure in children with AIS by using non-radiographic methods of assessment. He received his Bachelors Degree in Biology from the University of Iowa (1986), and his Physician Assistant training at the University of Iowa College of Medicine (1988). He did his surgical training at the University of Michigan and then earned his Master’s Degree in medical education from Finch University (1996), and his PhD in Organization and Management from Capella University (2000).
