Dr. Scarborough graduated from the University of Chicago in 1977, having previously studied psychology, philosophy, history and philosophy of science, and biology. In medical school at Tufts he met neuroendocrinologist Seymour Reichlin and worked in his lab on the effects of capsaicin on neurogenic inflammation. He did his medicine residency at Michael Reese in Chicago where his endocrine mentors were Arthur Schneider, Theodore Mazzone, James Magner, and Murray Favus. He returned to Tufts for a three-year fellowship with Dr. Reichlin. Other mentors there included Michael Kaplan, Ronald Lechan, Michael Holick, and Ernst Schaefer. His research in collaboration with Seymour Reichlin and Charles Dinarello concerned the interactions of cytokines and neuroendocrine pathways, studied in primary cultures of fetal rat hypothalamus. After fellowship he moved to Shreveport. At LSU he has been deeply involved with medical education serving as member or chair of the Curriculum Council since 1994. Currently he directs the Endocrinology Course for second year medical students and the Integrative Processes Course. This latter employs complex case studies and small groups to assist medical students in developing the art of differential diagnosis. He was the first recipient of the Allen A. Copping Award for Clinical Teaching at LSUHealth Shreveport. He sees patients in the clinic and inpatient consultations. His clinical interests include pituitary disorders, thyroid diseases, and obesity. He is a member of the Endocrine Society, the Pituitary Society, and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and of the American College of Endocrinology and a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.
