The psychologists in TACS provide biopsychosocial assessment and treatment services for patients with traumatic injuries who are admitted to the trauma service or to the acute care surgery service.Services are provided both inpatient and within and outpatient trauma psychology clinic. Furthermore, the TACS psychology team is a part of an innovative multidisciplinary team that provides post-discharge care to firearm injured patients.

This faculty member will join a dynamic division who will be engaged in training, research, and clinical innovation. There is a strong trauma psychology research program within the division and there will be multiple opportunities for the applicant to collaborate on research as a part of the Milwaukee Trauma Outcomes Project. While 50% of this faculty member's time will be focused on the TRC, the time allocation of the other 50% can be discussed to create an position that is both fulfilling and complimentary to the other team members.
