www.sunnybrook.ca

Both St. Michael’s Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have fully trained academic trauma/acute care surgery/critical care surgeons. The two sites work cooperatively to deliver tertiary and quaternary trauma, emergency and critical care to a catchment area of over eight million people, in addition to serving as the major referral sites for large parts of Northern Ontario. Together, St. Michael’s and Sunnybrook have over 3400 trauma team activations annually, making it the largest trauma program in Canada. Fellows will rotate between the two centres over the course of their Fellowship.

The trauma surgeons across both sites are involved in a wide variety of research activities ranging from clinical epidemiology, trauma systems, critical care, sepsis, education, simulation and quality improvement initiatives. It is expected that fellows will complete at least one research/quality initiative project during their fellowship.

Program started 2012
