The trauma opportunities: The numbers are 260 verified sites (American College of Surgeons), 1100 Centers performing as Regional or Community Trauma Centers currently in the continental 48 states, and 3256 hospitals performing in-patient orthopaedic surgery. Orthopaedic trauma surgeons still represent <10% of the total national surgeon complement. This component speaks to the demand side. Presently, there are >60 Traumatology Fellows annually. This represents the supply side that has the potential to graduate in 2013 and beyond. These individuals face a wide variety of career options not previously available to past generations, but one has to know the business model differentiators to be successful: employed-employee (most common, least sustainable historically); employed-partner; partner-contract for service; partner-private practice; private practice-hospital partner (least common, most productive).
美国外科医师学院（American College of Surgeons）证实有 260 个网站，48 个州中有 1100 个中心作为区域或社区创伤中心运作，3256 家医院进行住院骨科手术。骨科创伤外科医生仍占全国外科医生总数的<10%。这反映了需求方。目前，每年有超过 60 名创伤学研究员。这代表了供应方，他们有可能在 2013 年及以后毕业。这些人面临着过去几代人从未有过的各种职业选择，但要想成功，就必须了解商业模式的差异：受雇-雇员（最常见，历史上最不可持续）；受雇-合伙人；服务合同合伙人；私人执业合伙人；私人执业-医院合伙人（最不常见，最有成效）。
