EAST’s investment in young trauma surgeons helps to springboard their career through mentorship and support of their academic pursuits. The return on the investment is exponential; the research performed by recipients of EAST funds improves the care of the injured patient while they blossom into the next generation of trauma leaders. What other investment can you make with such a guaranteed return?” Multicenter Prospective Observational Study of Trauma Patients on Antiplatelet Agents The EAST Multicenter Trials Junior Investigator Award is funded through contributions to the EAST Development Fund.
