Dr. Mattox,

Thank you for your reply and scholarship.  I have seen multiple  documents 
and have had many discussions that residency programs had a relation  to trauma 
center level. Please review statements made according to the ACS  guidelines 
in Arizona:

 "A level I trauma center shall have a funtional and documented  teaching 
commitment. This requirement may be met through:
    1. A trauma fellowship; or
    2.Active participation with one of the following types  of residency 
programs in emergency medicine, general surgery, orthopedic  surgery,  or 
neurosurgery;
          a. A regional  residency rotation program; or
          b.A collaborative  residency program that includes multiple 
hospitals with each non-sponsor  participating hospital hosting at least one rotation.
