Trauma Research information

What is trauma research?

A Trauma Research job involves studying the causes, effects, and treatments of physical and psychological trauma. Researchers in this field analyze data, conduct clinical studies, and develop interventions to improve patient outcomes. They may work in hospitals, universities, or government agencies, collaborating with medical professionals and policymakers. The goal is to advance medical knowledge and enhance trauma care practices.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of trauma research?

Trauma research professionals are often engaged in designing and executing clinical studies, collecting and analyzing patient or injury data, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Their daily activities can include coordinating with physicians, nurses, and other researchers; managing study documentation; conducting literature reviews; and presenting findings to stakeholders. Much of the work involves problem-solving and adapting to rapidly evolving research needs, especially when studies are connected to urgent medical scenarios. Effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams is a significant part of the role, making strong organizational and interpersonal skills highly valuable.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in trauma research?

A strong background in biological sciences or psychology, research methodology, and data analysis is essential for success in trauma research, often supported by an advanced degree (e.g., MS, PhD, or MD) in a related field. Expertise in statistical software such as SPSS, SAS, or R, as well as familiarity with IRB procedures and research ethics certifications (like CITI training), is commonly required. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and teamwork skills help researchers collaborate with clinicians, patients, and interdisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications are crucial for conducting ethical, impactful research and effectively translating findings into practices that improve trauma care.

Job description

Denver Health Medical Center Posted Jul 24, 2026

Denver Health is recruiting a Trauma Surgeon to join our trauma and acute care surgery team. The Ernest E. Moore Shock Trauma Center at Denver Health is an internationally renowned, American College of Surgeons Level I adult and Level II pediatric trauma center, with over 3,000 patient evaluations annually. Among other services, the trauma center specializes in chest wall reconstruction, retrograde balloon occlusion of the aorta, and extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. The Trauma Center is actively engaged in a number of research projects, and publishes over 200 peer reviewed articles annually.
This position offers a diverse clinical practice encompassing trauma, surgical critical care, emergency general surgery, as well as elective general surgery. The position also comes with a faculty appointment at the University of Colorado School of Medicine serving as faculty for medical students, residents, and fellows. Our department is committed to innovation, research, and delivering exceptional care to Colorado’s safety-net population. Leadership opportunities are available for candidates with interest, experience, and vision to help shape and expand key clinical, educational, and academic programs.
The Denver Health Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) is a twenty-three-bed intensive care unit staffed by surgeons who are board certified in surgical critical care. Patient acuity is high and involves derangement of multiple organ systems simultaneously. Attending on both trauma and SICU services involves serving as faculty for both our Trauma and Acute Care Surgery and Surgical Critical Care Fellowships.
The Emergency General Surgery (EGS) Service at Denver Health performs over 1,000 operations annually, maintains an average daily census of fourteen patients, and spans all aspects and scope within this field. The EGS service is currently attended by seven trauma surgeons, two general surgeons, and our two, second year TACS fellows. The service engages in classic EGS, as well as emerging techniques such as minimally invasive treatments of diverticulitis and perforated peptic ulcers, endo luminal stents and vacuum therapy (endo-VAC), and laparoscopic, trans cystic common bile duct clearance. Other areas of focus include esophageal perforation, management of bariatric complications (in conjunction with our accredited bariatric center), thoracic surgeries, and both thoracic and lumbar spine exposures.
Denver Health serves as a satellite site for several fellowships, residency programs, and medical schools; education of residents is a core responsibility of our surgical faculty.
