Emergency
& Clin Path
Trade fluorescent clinic lights for Caribbean sunlight. This Spring Break, join us in St. Kitts—where learning meets the slow rhythm of island life.
Mornings begin with thoughtful, intimate CE sessions designed to refresh your clinical perspective and spark new ideas for practice. Afternoons are for warm water, salt air, and a little limin’—the beloved Caribbean art of slowing down, gathering with good company, and letting time stretch.
Set between lush green hills and endless turquoise sea, this retreat blends meaningful education with restoration. Expect intimate discussions, golden sunsets, barefoot beach walks, and sparkling waters.

Dr. Scotti was the first criticalist in the upstate of South Carolina and was instrumental in establishing the first Emergency and Critical Care specialty in the area. She quickly rose within her role as criticalist and eventually became the Emergency and Critical Care Director at her practice for over a year. Missing the action and care for her patients
Dr. Scotti is back full time as a criticalist at Fetch Specialty and Emergency Center in Greenville, SC. Her passion for teaching led her to hold many CE lectures for technicians, ER doctors, and local veterinarians. Her current clinical interests include polytrauma, sepsis, acute kidney injury, and hemodialysis. Dr. Scotti is driven to provide high quality patient care to all help patients and thrives in the recovery of critical and
challenging cases. Outside of work, Dr. Scotti loves spending time in her garden and creating flower arrangements for her friends and family. She loves trying new restaurants with her
husband and traveling whenever possible. She currently has four dogs, two cats, and nine chickens to keep her busy.
