As National Director of Campus & Community Ministries for CMDA, Dr. J. Scott Ries has his finger on the pulse of issues facing students and residents in today’s rapidly changing medical environment. An award winning family physician, his clinical career has included faculty appointments at Indiana University School of Medicine and Butler University, and has spanned from academic medicine, to clinical research, to full time private practice. He continues to actively see patients in the Tennessee/Virginia area. 

Dr. Ries’ passion for seeing lives transformed by the gospel of Christ through CMDA ministry began 20 years ago, as a medical student leader on the campus of Indiana University School of Medicine.  He became involved in the national ministry of CMDA as Resident Trustee on the CMDA Board of Trustees, and has since served two additional terms on the Board as a graduate physician leader.   Dr. Ries has functioned as medical consultant for ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox network affiliates, and has led hundreds of students overseas to serve on short-term medical teams as a Team Leader with Global Health Outreach.
