Trauma and Acute Care Surgery

Main Number: 617-414-4861

The Trauma and Acute Care Surgery team admits approximately 2,400 patients each year, with 1,500 of these admissions to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). Patients in the SICU are cared for by surgeons boarded in surgical critical care and with additional qualifications in traumatology and acute care surgery.

At Boston Medical Center (BMC), we have earned a reputation dating back more than a century for excellence in trauma care. The BMC Trauma Center, one of the country’s finest, has earned verification from the American College of Surgeons as a Level 1 adult trauma center and a Level 2 pediatric center. It is the busiest trauma center in New England and sees the highest percentage of penetrating trauma cases in the region.

In addition to providing excellent surgical care, our faculty are committed to training the next generation of surgeons and to conducting a wide range of research, with a focus on reducing disparities in access to health care and high-quality surgical care and on improving surgical outcomes.
