Biography 

Dr. Scott Barnhart has worked in a wide variety of clinical and public health settings. He is interested in health system strengthening and capacity development of Ministries of Health and local NGO's to develop independent programs to implement public health programs. Research projects have included strengthening public hospitals and support for development of electronic medical records in Haiti, design of teaching clinics in Ethiopia and implementation of voluntary male medical circumcision at scale to prevent HIV transmission in Southern and Eastern Africa. Importantly he is interested in encouraging and supporting transition whenever possible of grants, including the Prime, to local NGO's as a matter of social justice.
