Surgical Research Overview
Our division is engaged in a wide variety of research projects. Areas of interest include hemorrhage control and whole blood transfusion, repair of complex abdominal wounds after trauma and acute care surgery, using AI to improve triage of injured patients, surgical equity, and the impact that social determinants of health have on trauma and trauma-related care.
The Boston Trauma Institute (BTI) was established to formalize BMC’s leadership in trauma care, with a goal of innovating, evaluating, and disseminating new models of care and support services for trauma survivors in Boston and beyond.
