The UAB Department of Surgery’s Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery is committed to training and equipping the next generation of trauma surgeons through the Trauma and Surgical Critical Care Fellowship.

 

 

Four fellows have graduated from the program and are now beginning the next chapter in their careers – as trauma surgeons. Each of these fellows has been an integral part of the trauma team for the past year. They have brought dedication, passion, and a willingness to learn and lead to their work at UAB.
