The specialty of trauma/critical care is relatively new and is currently in a state of evolution as we now face not only a shortage of surgeons but also an alarmingly increasing number of well-trained surgeons who are unwilling to provide emergency care. Regionalization of both trauma and emergency surgical care nationwide is on the horizon and will require major changes in our surgical training programs. However, careers in trauma/critical care and emergency surgery can offer a controlled lifestyle, challenging cases that cross over many disciplines, and a rich field for scientific investigation.
创伤/危重病医学是一个相对较新的专业，目前正处于发展阶段，因为我们不仅面临外科医生短缺的问题，而且还面临越来越多受过良好培训但不愿意提供紧急护理的外科医生。全国范围内创伤和急诊外科护理的区域化即将到来，这将需要我们的外科培训计划发生重大变化。然而，创伤/危重病医学和急诊外科学领域的职业可以提供一种可控的生活方式、跨越多学科的挑战性病例，以及丰富的科学研究领域。
