primarily as a junior attending working as an integral part
of the trauma team. Senior attending surgeon supervision is
available at all times for both the fellow and resident staff.
There are approximately 4-6 nights of call per month with
significant segments of time blocked out for academic pursuits.
There is an opportunity to work both with the Trauma Burn
