About The Position
The Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at Mass General Brigham (MGB) provides expert, compassionate care to trauma and emergency surgery patients.

Established in 2005 as a joint initiative of Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), CSPH’s mission is to advance the science of surgical care delivery by studying effectiveness, equity, and value at the health system and population levels, to inform policy, and to provide support for faculty and trainees committed to excellence in surgical health services research (HSR).
