Acute Care Surgery Fellowship

The Division of Trauma, Critcal Care, Burn and Emergency Surgery within the UArizona Department Surgery and Banner University Medical Center - Tucson offers an approved American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) acute care surgery fellowship. The division is one of only 24 approved sites for this training in the U.S.

This program (which is a non-ACGME accredited fellowship) offers fellows broad training in elective and emergency general surgery, as well as trauma surgery and certain surgical subspecialties. It provides a second year of training in addition to the critical care fellowship that is already offered by the trauma division. The fellowship is overseen by seven full-time trauma/critical care surgeons, who have extensive clinical and research interests.

Fellows spend approximately 4 to 6 months on the trauma service, functioning as a junior attending, in addition to rotations on vascular, hepatobiliary, thoracic, and orthopedic surgery, and neurosurgery. Additional electives are available, tailored to suit the particular interests and training needs of the fellow. Fellows will also have exposure to Burns as we are currently pursuing a Burn Center status.

Research is strongly encouraged, but not required, with numerous opportunities to participate in both clinical and basic science projects. Protected research time is provided to the fellows to ensure their academic success.
