CLICK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR EDUCATION
We offer two fellowship programs through the Department of Trauma and Burn: a one-year Operative Trauma Fellowship and a two-year Combined Trauma and Surgical Critical Care Fellowship. These high-volume, hands-on programs provide advanced training in trauma surgery and critical care, preparing fellows for leadership roles in both clinical and academic settings.
The Department of Trauma and Burn plays a vital role in the education of over 100 rotating residents each year, with trainees coming from general surgery, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and other specialties. Our department is a sought-after rotation site due to the diversity and complexity of cases, the strong culture of teaching, and our team-based approach to care. Residents participate in trauma resuscitations, critical care management, operative procedures, and burn resuscitation and reconstruction. We are proud to attract residents from across the United States and internationally, creating a dynamic and collaborative learning environment that prepares physicians for the most demanding clinical settings.
We proudly offer clinical rotations for fourth-year medical students from accredited U.S. medical schools. Students are fully integrated into the Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, and Burn teams, where they participate in daily rounds, operative procedures, trauma resuscitations, and multidisciplinary care planning. These rotations provide robust exposure to high-acuity cases, allowing students to strengthen their diagnostic, procedural, and communication skills. Mentorship from attending physicians, fellows, and residents supports the students’ clinical development while offering insights into the realities of trauma care in a high-volume, urban academic health system.
We offer a range of certification and continuing education courses tailored to healthcare professionals working in emergency care. These hands-on courses are led by our faculty, and are designed to improve clinical proficiency, enhance critical thinking, and reinforce team-based skills.
