Gary Sculli responds to both "nurse" and "captain" and the interesting juxtaposition of those titles gives him a unique voice in the patient safety world.
Sculli began his career in the U.S. Air Force Nurse Corps., but after 10 years of nursing, he left to pursue his other passion: flying. He spent seven years flying at regional and major airlines both as first officer and captain. He also served as an aircrew instructor, training flight crews in state-of-the-art aircraft simulators.
