Scoute Stauf-Gonzalez, MD

PGY-1

Hometown: Brawley, CA 

Undergrad: University of Oregon 

Medical School: St George’s University 

About: Hi, I'm Scoute, and ✨I'm just a girl ✨...powered by energy drinks, fueled by controlled chaos, and happiest with trauma shears in hand.

I recently married the love of my life, and together we have taken on our greatest challenge yet: surviving residency while raising Beamer, our Boxer puppy, who has mastered the art of creating his own emergencies. Between my Emergency Medicine residency and his Anesthesiology residency, our household is basically a never-ending debate over one important question: who gets to tube the trauma patient?

When I'm not in the ED, you can find me at the track watching drifting, enjoying fast cars, curled up watching a good horror movie, or spending time with my family and friends. I thrive on adventure, a little bit of chaos, and anything that keeps life interesting.

I’m excited to bring my curiosity, humor, and passion for Emergency Medicine to residency—one shift, one energy drink, and one controlled chaos moment at a time. 

Hobbies: Traveling, puzzles, horror movies, reading, and quality time with family and friends
