Level 1 Trauma Publications
We are proud to announce that our hospital’s trauma program has reached a significant milestone in contributing to our Level I trauma accreditation by meeting the research and scholarly activity requirement.
The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma (COT) requires Level I trauma centers to have at least 10 trauma-related publications per three-year accreditation cycle. This accomplishment highlights our commitment to advancing trauma care through innovative and collaborative studies.
