About Me

Dr. C. Scott Hultman is a triple board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with interests in burn and wound care, breast reconstruction, body contouring after significant weight loss, chest and abdominal wall reconstruction, hand and peripheral nerve surgery, skin cancer management, and aesthetic surgery.

Dr. Hultman joins WakeMed as the inaugural Chair of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He arrives from Johns Hopkins University, where he served as Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Vice-Chair of Strategy and Development, Director of the Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn Center, Fellowship Director for Surgical Critical Care, and Medical Director of the Johns Hopkins Green Spring Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Prior to his recruitment to Hopkins, Dr. Hultman was the Ethel and James Valone Distinguished Professor of Surgery at the University of North Carolina, where he served as Chief and Residency Program Director for Plastic Surgery, Vice Chair of Finance for the Department of Surgery, and Interim Chair of the Graduate Medical Education Committee. He is a Past President of the Plastic Surgery Foundation, the American Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons, and the North Carolina Society of Plastic Surgeons.

He obtained his undergraduate degree in psychology from Brown University and received his medical degree at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Hultman then completed training in general surgery and surgical critical care at the University of North Carolina, where he also pursued a two-year basic science fellowship in burn immunology and keratinocyte biology. He completed his training in plastic surgery at Emory University. Dr. Hultman obtained an executive MBA from the UNC Kenan Flagler Business School, with a focus on health care economics and service operations, where mentors included Susan Palmer and Ted Zoller.

A recognized expert in acute burn care and burn reconstruction, Dr. Hultman is an internationally renowned educator, innovator, and leader in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. Throughout his career, Dr. Hultman has sought to improve the patient experience, which includes not only patient safety and improved clinical outcomes, but also improving patient access and patient satisfaction. Toward that end, he prioritizes shared decision making with his patients and helps them choose the best option to meet their individual goals. His dual training in medicine and business has allowed him to focus on and transform systems of health care. Clinically, he continues to develop novel techniques in wound closure, fat grafting, laser resurfacing, and peripheral nerve surgery to help restore form and function.

The author of more than 200 scientific articles, reviews, and chapters, plus the editor of four medical textbooks, Dr. Hultman has mentored more than 50 surgeons during various stages of their academic careers. In 2016, he received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the UNC Kenan Flagler Business School, and he delivered the commencement address for the UNC Executive MBA class in 2017. Nationally, he serves on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and is a senior examiner for the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition to being board certified in Plastic Surgery, he remains board certified in General Surgery and Surgical Critical Care.

Dr. Hultman and his wife Suzanne, an ordained Methodist minister in the North Carolina Conference, are excited to return to the Triangle, where they had previously resided for 3 decades. Their children grew up in Chapel Hill and are now pursuing careers in public health, the military, and business. The

extended Hultman family lives in Wyoming, California, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, and Missouri, but nothing is finer than spending time together in the mountains or on the coast of North Carolina.
