The program is designed to provide advanced critical care training to graduates of approved surgical residencies (or selected surgical residents above the PGY-3 level) to acquire expertise as a practitioner, consultant, and teacher in critical care. The program emphasizes scholarship, self-instruction, development of critical analysis of clinical problems, the ability to prioritize patient care needs, and the ability to make appropriate decisions. Although clinical care and didactic instruction are the backbone of this experience, the Fellow constantly participates in research and administrative activities. In addition, the SCC Fellow is specifically involved in continual graduate (house staff) and undergraduate (medical student) medical education. It is hoped that this fellowship experience will result in a well-rounded surgeon who has the tools for a leadership position in Surgical Critical Care and who has learned to function in an intensive care unit (ICU), providing quality, cost-effective care. Upon successful completion the fellow will be eligible to sit for the ABS Surgical Critical Care Examination. The academic structure of the Surgical Critical Care program will provide in-depth knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of critically ill patients. The majority of the clinical and educational training centers around a 22-bed Surgical Critical Care Complex (SCCC) and an 8-bed Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CVICU). The SCC Service (SCCS) participates in the care of patients in a wide spectrum of surgical subspecialties, including Trauma, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Urology, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Otorhinolaryngology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Plastic Surgery. The core of the didactic component of the SCC fellowship consists of educational lecture series, which the Fellow is expected to attend. This series, focused at the level of the Fellow and faculty, alternates between a research conference, didactic lecture, journal club, and morbidity and mortality conference. The SCC Fellow also attends the weekly Trauma Service Multidisciplinary Conference and the Department of Surgery Morbidity and Mortality Conference. The Fellow is expected to complete than assist in teaching the Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) Course, which is provided yearly.</p><h2>How to apply</h2><p>Gerard J.

The foundation of training occurs at Pitt County Memorial Hospital (PCMH), the 740 bed tertiary care teaching hospital and Level I trauma center for the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. Pitt County Memorial Hospital is the sole tertiary care facility in rural Eastern North Carolina, serving a 29 county catchment area bound by Interstate 95 to the west and the Outer Banks to the east. The fellowship is comprised of one year of surgical critical care (SCC) followed by an optional year of SCC and trauma. Eleven months of the first year are focused in the 24 bed Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), which is subdivided into eight bed Neurosurgical, Trauma, and Surgical intensive care units. The SICU experiences an annual volume of approximately 1,500 critically ill surgical and trauma patients. As the sole tertiary facility in the region, PCMH receives a diverse breadth of complex surgical critical illness. The Trauma and Surgical Critical Care (TSCC) service is staffed by seven fellowship-trained surgeons managing critically ill trauma, general and vascular surgery, neurosurgery, ENT, urology, orthopedic, plastic, and obstetric/gynecology patients. The SICU operates at 95% capacity, with a typical TSCC service census of 15-20 patients. A one-month burn elective at the University of North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center is available and encouraged. During the second optional year of the program, the fellow will serve as Instructor in Surgery, functioning as an attending in the Department of Surgery. The second year will focus on development of further expertise in SCC and operative trauma surgery. First year responsibilities include assistance with management of patients on the TSCC service, such that all phases of the care of the severely injured and critically ill surgical patient are mastered. The SCC fellow will serve as both liaison between faculty and the SICU and educational resource to the surgical housestaff. With progression through the fellowship, each fellow will assume greater responsibility and autonomy, functioning in the capacity of junior attending in charge of the SCC service. Operative experience is available commensurate with the guidelines established by the RRC and ACGME. In addition, fellows will be responsible for orchestration of multidisciplinary critical care conference and the daily fellow’s conference. Completion of a prospective clinical research project is expected. The SCC fellow will take approximately five in house calls per month. Second year responsibilities include participation in the attending trauma and SCC call schedules and further growth of research pursuits. Second year fellows will function as Instructor in Surgery within the Department of Surgery, and have full attending responsibilities for trauma and SCC while on call. In addition, fellows will serve as attending of the week for the SCC service on a rotating basis with other faculty. The second year will focus on development of advanced operative and management skills in trauma and SCC. Approximately four calls per month are anticipated, with SCC attending of the week duties every sixth week.</p><h2>How to apply</h2><p>Eric A.

It's designed to train surgeons at the post-graduate-year 5 level or higher in all phases of the care of the critically ill and injured surgical patient. It prepares the Fellow to function with advanced skills suited for either an academic or clinical career. Goals are to develop competence in all phases of trauma care and system organization. Strengths: The facility, caseload, multidisciplinary team, and academic skill-development are program strengths. Facility: Hurley Medical Center is a Level 1 Trauma Center (and Level II Pediatric Trauma Center), verified by the American College of Surgeons, with dedicated trauma facilities and state-of-the-art technology. The 443-bed tertiary-care public hospital serves as the primary training site for the Fellowship and is the care referral site for mid- and northeastern Michigan, with a catchment area of more than 1 million people. Within the institution are an 18-bed dedicated multidisciplinary Neuro/Trauma Intensive Care Unit, a 13-bed Burn Unit, and a 13-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for surgical critical care patients. Annually, about 1,600 are admitted to the trauma service with more than 350 transfers from more than 38 counties in Michigan. Within the Emergency Department, a 4-bed dedicated trauma resuscitation bay is adjacent to the 64-slice CT scanner and near the hospital-based MRI, which can accommodate obese patients, unconscious patients and patients with metal artifacts, such as knee-replacement joints. Caseload: With a large geographical region and with access to exclusive diagnostic tools, the Trauma Service caseload is broad and extensive. About 20% of the 1600 annual trauma admissions are penetrating injuries, with more than 150 major trauma operations per year. Management of blunt trauma and burn care also are part of the caseload. Multidisciplinary Team: The multidisciplinary Trauma Critical Care Service is staffed by board-certified surgical intensivists who provide supervision and educational opportunities for the Trauma Fellow in this major regional trauma center. The Fellow, in turn, is supported by rotating third- and fourth-year surgical residents and a full complement of trauma physician assistants.

Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County</h3><p>Stroger Hospital, formerly Cook County Hospital, is a 464 bed county hospital providing care to the Chicago area. It is a tertiary care hospital and a Level I Trauma center. The Cook County Trauma Unit is the oldest and third largest in the country, treating over 5000 patients per year in their separate 15 bed resuscitation area and 12 bed Trauma ICU. The Cook County Trauma Unit is America’s first unit dedicated solely to the care of the acutely injured and since 1966, the unit has served as a model for trauma care. The Cook County Trauma Unit is one of the busiest of the seven Level I trauma centers serving the Chicago area with nearly 5000 annual admissions. Approximately 35% of the admissions are secondary to penetrating trauma. The SICU is a 14 bed unit housing patients from the General Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, ENT/, Plastics, Urology, and Obstetrics-Gynecology services. The SICU sees over 450 admissions per year. The Burn Unit treats over 300 patients per year in the 6 bed Burn ICU and 10 bed wound care step down. We have 13 rotations during the SICU portion of the fellowship, each of 4 weeks duration divided between the SICU, Burns, Trauma, Pediatric ICU, Transplant Surgery (at Rush University) with electives in any of the above or in the Medical ICU or Neurosurgical ICU. Minor adjustments can be made depending on the needs and interests of individual fellows. The fellowship provides excellent clinical exposure to all aspects of surgical critical care, including nutrition therapy. Fellows lead clinical rounds and are responsible for the immediate supervision of rotating residents and medical students. Although the main focus of education during the first year is on critical care, residents are permitted and are expected to be credentialed to perform acute care surgery under the restrictions stipulated by the ACGME and American Board of Surgery. Board-eligible candidates who have completed general surgery residency, and have an unrestricted Illinois license will be offered an appointment as voluntary attending in the Department of Surgery enabling their participation in acute care surgery as a voluntary attending. The Emergency Department at Stroger Hospital sees over 127,000 patients per year providing a full range of emergency surgical cases. The second year of fellowship is a one-year clinical fellowship designed to prepare surgeons to assume a leadership role in trauma and burn care. This portion of the fellowship provides exposure to injury prevention, trauma systems planning, education of prehospital personnel, resuscitation, in-depth surgical experience, rehabilitation and registry functions, and continued experience in critical care. Fellows will manage patients in conjunction with full time board certified attending surgical intensivists. Fellows have overall responsibility for supervision of residents and medical students from various Institutions around the Chicago area. We have an excellent academic program with discussions, journal club, board review and M&M sessions. The ICUs have the services of full-time and dedicated pharmacists (PharmD) and dieticians/nutritionists.

Historically, the Surgical Assistant Chiefs of Service had played this role (along with many other duties). We have recently modified the fellowship to focus fellow education on the care of trauma and emergency surgery patients. The program will be based on the structure of the new American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) view of the future of trauma surgery. The fellow will be broadly trained as an “Acute Care Surgeon”, consisting of clinical care in the areas of Trauma, Emergency Surgery, and Critical Care. The Johns Hopkins Trauma / Critical Care Fellowship position will be flexible to the appropriate candidate to focus on trauma care and emergency surgery or combine this with time in our well-established Critical Care Fellowship. Time spent treating trauma patients will be as a closely mentored trauma attending (at the level of clinical instructor). These responsibilities consist of evaluation and management of trauma patients at our urban level I trauma center. We see approximately 2500 trauma patients per year. The trauma service has five dedicated trauma surgeons with additional critical care fellowship training. Additional faculty members are used to cover for the 24/7 in-house attending trauma surgeon. Operative cases abound with our greater than 40% rate of penetrating trauma among our most serious “delta” trauma patients. The trauma service performs a wide range of trauma surgical procedures including abdominal procedures along with repairing our own cardiac, thoracic, vascular, and renal injuries. Education revolves around daily trauma pass on rounds in which all trauma contacts from the previous 24-hours are reviewed, critiqued, and discussed. Fellows hone their general surgical skills in the coverage of urgent and emergent general surgery from the busy inner-city emergency room. Clinical research endeavors are supported and the fellow will be encouraged to present at major national meetings. The trauma fellow will be encouraged and enabled to become certified as an instructor for ATLS and ATOM (Advanced Trauma Operative Management), which is taught on campus. Options are available for additional coursework towards the Masters of Public Health (MPH) from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The fellow may spend time as part of the fellowship in Critical Care Medicine. This program is an integrated fellowship between the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine. It utilizes all resources that presently reside at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The core program is centered in a surgical intensive care environment including the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU, 16-beds), the Weinberg Intensive Care Unit (Weinberg ICU, 20-beds), and the cardiac Surgical Intensive care Unit (15 beds). Patients, representing more than 9,000 patient-days, are admitted from the adult trauma, transplant, vascular, cardiac, thoracic, orthopedic, plastic, obstetric, gynecologic-oncology, endocrine and general surgical services. Additional rotations in the Medical ICU, Neurosciences Critical Care Unit, Neurovascular ICU and Pediatric ICU are routinely provided. Rotations through the Oncology ICU and the Burn ICU (JHBMC) are available for appropriate candidates. Electives are available in all medical subspecialties as well as Pulmonary Physiology, Echocardiography and Infection Control. The SICU, Weinberg ICU and Cardiac SICU are covered by 16 faculty members, all BC/BE in Critical Care Medicine. Primary appointments reside in the Departments of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) and Surgery.

Program Objectives The Traumatology and Surgical Critical Care Fellowship of the Department of Surgery, is designed to train board-eligible or board-certified surgeons in all phases of the care of the severely injured and critically ill surgical patient. It prepares the Fellow to function with advanced skills suited for either an academic or clinical career. The Surgical Critical Care component of the Fellowship was re-accredited in 1999 by the Residency Review Committee (RRC) of the ACGME for a full 5 years. II. Facilities The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) is a 700-bed tertiary care hospital that is the primary teaching institution for the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. It serves as the primary training site for the Fellowship. Within the institution, there is a 56-bed multi-disciplinary Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) that has 2300-2500 admissions yearly. There is a 3-bed dedicated trauma receiving area within the Emergency Department where 2500 patients per year are evaluated by the Trauma Service. This facility, which opened in January 1996, offers the opportunity to care for severely injured trauma victims in a setting that is truly state-of-the-art. Between 400-500 major operative trauma cases are performed annually. An additional 400-500 emergency general surgery cases are performed annually as well. An intensive exposure to the care of injured children takes place at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), a pediatric Level I trauma center located immediately adjacent to HUP. The experience in Surgical Critical Care is augmented via rotations in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at St. Luke's Hospital and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at CHOP. Board certified pediatric surgeons and anesthesia/critical care intensivists provide supervision and educational opportunities. PENNStar, the Hospital's aeromedical ambulance service, is active in transporting trauma victims as well as critically ill surgical and medical patients to HUP. III. Duration and Scope of Training Surgical Critical Care - This is a 1-year program concentrating on all aspects of the critically ill surgical patient. Fellows in HUP's RRC certified Anesthesia Critical Care Fellowship are fully integrated into all clinical and educational components of our Critical Care program, and function in a role equivalent to our Fellows in Surgical Critical Care. In addition, Fellows from the Department of Medicine's Pulmonary Critical Care Fellowship rotate on an ad hoc basis to gain exposure to critically ill surgical patients. Trauma and Surgical Critical Care -This program takes place over a 2-year period, and integrates the disciplines of trauma and surgical critical care. During the first year, the critical care training is interspersed with our training program in traumatology. During the second year, the balance of interspersed surgical critical care fellowship training occurs. American Board of Surgery eligible or certified fellows who have successfully completed their trauma training the prior year are afforded the opportunity to serve as Fellows in Exception (FIE) in General Surgery. FIEs are able to practice general and emergency surgery and traumatology independently at HUP, as well as at our second practice site at the St. Lukes Hospital, a Level I trauma center located 60 miles north of Philadelphia in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This environment affords our FIEs a unique experience in a suburban, private practice environment in conjunction with our full time faculty. The experience here is weighted toward high-speed motor vehicle crash victims and pediatric injuries. IV.

Rotational experience includes trauma, cardiac, burn, and pediatric, as well as general surgical critical care. The fellowship is designed to provide the critical care resident (CCR) with an education in the principles and practice of state-of-the art surgical critical care, by exposing them to a broad array of surgical illnesses; this is accomplished through teaching rounds, primary patient care, educational conferences, and specialized rotations. By the completion of training, the CCR is expected to demonstrate proficiency in surgical critical care decision making, specific organ system support, evaluation of new technology and treatment techniques, ICU administration, outcomes assessment, research design, and interaction with patients, families, and health care personnel. These clinical goals will be accomplished by providing the CCR with a position dedicated to the intensive care units at Denver Health Medical Center (DHMC), The Children's Hospital of Denver (TCH), and the University of Colorado Hospitals (UCHSC). Training will consist of twelve months: eight dedicated to General Surgical Critical Care, one to Pediatric Critical Care, one to Burn Critical Care, one to Cardiothoracic Critical Care, and one to research. Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (TACS) encompasses trauma and non-trauma surgical emergencies, as well as surgical critical care. Individuals trained in TACS will be qualified to provide comprehensive emergent surgical and critical care to trauma and non-trauma conditions in virtually any body region or organ system. Through this integrated educational experience, we are providing residents with the training to become academic leaders in this emerging discipline. The TACS curriculum is designed to build on the oncepts and skills obtained during a 5-year General Surgery residency. The first year of the fellowship focuses on surgical critical care in an ACGME/RRC approved training program. Rotational experience includes trauma, cardiac, burn, and pediatric, as well as general surgical critical care. The broad experience gained through a diverse faculty and programmatic elements should prepare the fellow for their board examinations as well as their future career. During the second year of the fellowship, the resident will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of critical care, trauma, and emergency general surgery as well as advanced operative skills and procedural techniques in thoracic and vascular surgery. Under the supervision of attending faculty members, the TACS fellow will be the physician responsible for patient evaluation, care, and intervention of all acutely ill surgical patients. Specific rotations on thoracicsurgery, vascular surgery, transplant/hepatobiliary surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery and interventional radiology will expand the general knowledge base and specific technical skills of the fellow. Acute Care Surgery rotations incorporate elective general, thoracic, and vascular surgery cases, surgical critical care, and emergent trauma and non-trauma cases.

The first year of training focuses on surgical critical care in an ACGME approved fellowship. There are multiple ICUs including a 20 bed SICU and 5 bed Burn Unit included in the training program. The fellow works with one of the two Trauma Teams directing care for the ICU patient, and assists in ICU management. During the second year of the fellowship, the trauma fellow acts as a junior attending and works as an integrated part of the team. There are approximately 4-6 nights of call per month. The clinical milieu is vast, with the Trauma Service admitting trauma, burn, emergency general surgery and some elective general surgery patients. The service also provides surgical critical care consultation to many of the other surgical specialties in the hospital. Fellows will have a broad training experience consistent with many of the goals of Acute Care Surgery. Supervision is available from a senior attending surgeon for both the fellow and resident staff at all times. While ideally the fellowship is designed for a classic two years of trauma and critical care training, a one year opportunity is also available with a primary focus on completing the requirements for surgical critical care.

The trauma center and main teaching institution is located at Memorial Hermann Hospital, an 800-bed facility within Texas Medical City. It is home of Life Flight aero-medical services and the John S. Dunn Helistop, the busiest heliport in the United States for its size. UTHSC admits well over 5,000 trauma patients annually with the most severely injured cared for in the 25-bed Shock-Trauma ICU (STICU). The fellowship was initiated in 1994 and currently supports three (3) Surgical Critical Care Fellows (with a request to ACGME to expand to six), three (3) research fellows, and one to two Clinical Trauma Fellows. The Acute Care Surgery Division has eleven (11) faculty members. We offer multiple fellowship opportunities ranging from purely clinical to those with a research emphasis. One-year fellowship positions in (1) Surgical Critical Care, (2) Clinical Trauma or (2) Trauma Research are available. In addition, two-year positions are available in (1) Surgical Critical Care and Clinical Trauma, (2) Surgical Critical Care and Trauma Research, and (3) Two-year Trauma Research (T32). The majority of the Surgical Critical Care year is spent in the STICU, allowing exposure to a wide variety of severely injured patients, often with multiple co-morbid conditions. Additionally, the STICU serves as the highest level of care for critically ill patients from general surgery services, head and neck surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology. The STICU has approximately 975 admissions annually. Other rotations such as the medical ICU, cardiovascular ICU, Neuro-trauma ICU, Burn ICU and Pediatric ICU enhance exposure to a wide variety of patient populations and ICU practices. The Clinical Trauma Fellowship is individualized to each applicant and is focused on developing their future practice whether it will be in academics or a private setting. The year is also customized to address specific deficits that the candidate feels that he/she might have with respect to operative, non-operative, and interventional management. Critical reviews of research and the medical literature form an integral part of the daily ICU bedside teaching rounds and didactic conferences. Each Monday both administrative and research issues are addressed at the Trauma/Critical Care Faculty Meeting. In addition, changes in practice and proposed research topics are discussed in detail at the monthly Practice Management Guidelines meeting. Recently implemented Surgical Critical Care Conference and the Trauma Operative Conference deliver Grand Rounds-quality lectures by the institution‘s (and visiting) Faculty that are aimed specifically at "fellow-level" education (PGY-6 and above). The SCC resident is expected to deliver at least one Grand Rounds lecture throughout the year.

Through an integrated program, fellows will attain knowledge and expertise to 1) satisfy the six core competencies outlined by the ACGME, 2) obtain a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Surgical Critical Care, 3) manage the most complex trauma, emergency general surgery, and burn cases, and 4) become academically and administratively successful in their careers. To ensure that fellows within the program attain the mission outlined above, the VUMC Surgical Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery Fellowship defines several components in the program including: A. Clinical B. Educational C. Administrative D. Research/Academic Development For acquisition of clinical expertise, the fellowship is structurally divided into two separate years: 1) ACMGE approved surgical critical care experience - 1st year 2) Acute Care Surgery experience - 2nd year. For acquisition and enhancement of administrative, research, and educational skills, the two year fellowship is an integrated program with the second year building on the first year. Additionally, the second year provides opportunities to obtain specific expertise and skills in areas of interest defined by the fellow. For more detailed information and description, the FELLOW’S MANUAL can be viewed on our website @: www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/surgery/trauma/fellow.htm. Research Opportunities The Vanderbilt Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care is committed to research training of Surgical Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery fellows. Fellows are strongly encouraged to participate in all aspects of the Division’s research programs and are provided significant resources to do so. The Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care has an active clinical and translational research program that includes government and contract funded projects as well as numerous investigator initiated projects. To support these research initiatives and research education for the fellows, the Division maintains a significant research platform, the components of which include clinical volume, informatics and database support, research support personnel, established collaborative research programs, laboratory space and equipment, and research training curricula. Each of these components will be summarized in the section below. Clinical volume: A large volume of critically ill and injured patients provides access to significant clinical data. VUMC is a Level 1 Trauma Center with a dedicated 31 bed trauma unit providing care for a 65,000 sq. mile area and admits greater than 3800 adult trauma patients per year. A 21 bed Surgical ICU provides critical care management to greater than 1300 critically ill general, oncologic, vascular, thoracic, head and neck, and transplant surgical patients. The Burn Unit admits roughly 400 patients per year with greater than 20% total body surface area burns. Informatics and database support: The Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care’s research program benefits from world class informatics support and a variety of databases and repositories. An institutionally developed computerized medical record provides the opportunity to prospectively capture pre-defined, validated data-fields on a large volume of patients. This has enabled the creation of an ICU database that prospectively captures severity scoring, diagnoses, outcome, infection, and therapeutic data on a large volume of patients. The Division has developed and implemented continuous physiologic data capture (SIMON) that contains greater than 650,000 hours of data on over 7000 patients since 2001. Genetic sampling of all trauma unit admissions began in 2005 and has accrued greater than 5200 patients. The Division has also maintained a trauma registry (TRACS) since 1984 and contains greater than 55,000 patient records. The Division’s database and statistical processing is supported by 3 dual processor Xeon systems dedicated to research purposes. Additional computer and informatics support is available through Vanderbilt’s Bioinformatics core. Additionally, the Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education (ACCRE) provides high-performance computing support to computational studies across campus and is available to fellows as needed. All fellows are provided with desktop computers with Microsoft Office 2007, SPSS, and reference manager programs. Research support personnel: Three full time research coordinators provide regulatory, educational and data acquisition support. Judy Jenkins, RN has been the lead coordinator since 1995 and supports training in human subjects research, IRB applications, research design, database development, and HIPPA compliance. Patrick Norris, PhD is also a full time member of the Division and supports database construction, data merging, data cleaning, data transformation, and statistical analysis. The Section of Surgical Sciences employs a full time biostatistician to provide statistical support. Established collaborative research programs: The Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care has several formalized collaborative research initiatives with research centers within Vanderbilt University including 1) the Center for Human Genetics Research, 2) the Center for Health Services Research and 3) the Centers for Lung Research and Clinical Proteomics. 1) Center for Human Genetics Research (CHGR): this center was initiated in 1997 to advance human genetic research at Vanderbilt. The Division has established formalized and federally funded collaboration with this Center and with Jeff Canter, MD, MPH. The central theme of this collaboration between the Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care and the CHGR is to increase the understanding of how genetics influence complex responses to injury in the setting of variable environmental exposures. This encompasses research at the molecular, clinical, and population levels and is performed by faculty in multiple departments and schools, utilizing complex analytic statistical techniques such as Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) analysis. The VUMC DNA Resources Core provides services in extraction and banking of DNA as well as high-throughput genotyping. 2) Center for Health Services Research (CHSR): fellows’ research training in clinical and outcomes research is supported by a collaborative relationship with Robert Dittus, MD, MPH, Director of Vanderbilt’s Institute for Medicine and Public Health and of the CHSR. The CHSR has greater than $100 million in active research funding and greater than 100 full time faculty members. Dr. David Penson has recently been recruited as the Director of the Center for Surgical Quality and Outcomes Research (within the CHSR) and the Division’s collaboration will fall within this center. 3) Centers for Lung Research and Clinical Proteomics: the Division has on-going federally funded research collaborations investigating biomarkers in acute lung injury with Dr. Lorraine Ware. Dr. Ware is a faculty member within Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and a member of the Center for Lung Research. This specific research initiative, funded through the Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH links the Center for Lung Research and Clinical Proteomics to create panels for the diagnosis and management of lung injury. Laboratory space and equipment: The Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care maintains laboratory space to support clinical, translational, and basic research. This 400 sq ft lab space located in Medical Center North has a – 70 degree freezer, equipment for specimen handling and transfer, and equipment of ELISA and EIA tests and has direct access to several research core facilities. Patrick Norris has a 300 sq ft office, the research coordinators a 400 sq ft office, and each fellow has a dedicated office space. Research training curricula: Fellows have the opportunity to matriculate in biostatistical courses within either the MSCI or the MPH programs during their first or second year. Qualified fellows with significant interest in strengthening their research skills and obtaining Masters Degrees in Public Health, Clinical Investigation, or Bioinformatics may enter the clinical and translational research training program. This program is a collaborative interface between the Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care’s current research and quality infrastructure with Vanderbilt’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (supported by a NIH-Clinical and Translational Science Award), Vanderbilt’s Quality Scholars program, and the Center for Clinical Improvement. The Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care has substantial on-going clinical, outcomes, translational research and quality related initiatives and has demonstrated a successful track record of resident and fellow training within these areas (fellow’s publications available on website).</p><h2>How to apply</h2><p>Addison K.
