Trauma Systems
Our academic researchers and clinician scientists work together on solutions towards more effective, coordinated, and connected care for the most severely injured patients. This is not just acute care in the emergency rooms, but prevention and long-term recovery outcomes as well. At the center of multiple large health systems, Philadelphia is a rich environment for this field of study.
