Trauma Surgeon Jobs in Colorado

A Trauma Surgeon is a highly trained medical professional who specializes in the surgical management of critically injured or seriously ill patients. They primarily work in hospital emergency departments, where they are responsible for making quick decisions and performing complex procedures to treat life-threatening conditions such as gunshot wounds, severe burns, or severe car accidents. Trauma Surgeons may also be called upon to perform surgical procedures on any part of the body, excluding the brain. They coordinate with other specialists and healthcare workers to ensure comprehensive patient care.

To become a Trauma Surgeon, certain skills and certifications are required. A strong foundation in general surgery is paramount, and they must be board-certified in general surgery. They must also complete a fellowship in trauma or surgical critical care. Key skills include the ability to work under pressure, agility, fast decision-making, excellent hand-eye coordination, and strong communication skills. Prior to becoming a Trauma Surgeon, an individual may work as a resident in general surgery, a surgical fellow, or an attending physician in a critical care setting.
