Training future surgeon-scientists to improve outcomes in critically ill patients
Surgeon-Scientist Research Training in Injury Pathobiology and Outcomes In Critical Illness
This program is designed to help surgery residents become skilled researchers who study how injuries affect seriously ill patients, so they can improve care and outcomes for those patients.

What this research studies
This program focuses on training the next generation of surgeon-scientists who will conduct important research on injury pathobiology and outcomes in critically ill patients. It offers a two-year full-time research training opportunity for surgery residents, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform impactful clinical research. The training is conducted at the University of South Florida, where experienced faculty guide trainees in exploring critical illness and its effects on patient outcomes. This initiative aims to address the declining number of surgeon-scientists and enhance surgical practices through innovative research.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are surgery residents who have completed at least three years of residency and are interested in pursuing a career as surgeon-scientists.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in surgical training or do not have critical illnesses may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to significant improvements in the treatment and outcomes for critically ill patients.
How similar studies have performed: While the training of surgeon-scientists is a recognized need, this specific program represents a novel approach to addressing the shortage in this field.
