Dr. Mark Scheurer

Originally from Tennessee, Dr. Mark Scheurer earned his medical degree at the University of Tennessee Memphis. Along the way, he also earned a Master’s of Science in Clinical Research after medical school. He completed his internships, residencies, and fellowships at Duke Medical University, Medical University of South Carolina, and Children’s Hospital Boston. Mark and his wife Danielle, also a physician, returned to MUSC in 2010 and soon thereafter lead the team that designed, built and opened the innovative MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital & Pearl Tourville Women’s Pavilion in February 2020. Life has given him many gifts, but working with a team of families and clinicians to imagine, mold and create this model of patient and family centered care stands as a special journey to him.

Dr. Scheurer currently serves as a pediatric cardiac intensivist in the MUSC heart center. In 2014, he was appointed to the role of Chief Medical Officer of the Children’s Hospital and in 2016 as the Chief of the Integrated Clinical Center of Excellence for Children’s and Women’s Health.

He is blessed to work along a hard-working team, dedicated to serving the mother’s and kids of South Carolina. Outside of work he enjoys ultrarunning. Mostly, because it’s not about running at all.
