Directed by Grace S. Rozycki, MD, the division of trauma/surgical critical care staffs Grady Memorial Hospital's Trauma Center, Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) and Burn Unit. Based in Atlanta, GA, Grady Hospital is one of the largest public hospitals in the Southeast and the largest hospital in Georgia.

	Designated the only Level I trauma facility in an eight county area with over nine million people, the Trauma Center is a state Center of Excellence. Of the thousands of injured patients evaluated each year, approximately 3,600 are admitted to the service, 35% with penetrating injuries.
	Approximately 70 patients per month are admitted to the SICU, with division faculty performing such bedside procedures as bronchoscopy, EGD, feeding tube placement, fasciotomy, tracheostomy and open abdomen dressing changes.
	One of only two burn centers in Georgia and one of the largest in the nation, the Burn Unit provides comprehensive care for burn victims of all ages.

 Postgraduate Training

In addition to the rotations that general surgery, emergency medicine and oral surgery residents undertake in the Trauma Center, SICU and Burn Unit, the division offers a two-year trauma/surgical critical care fellowship to board-eligible surgeons that encompasses one year in trauma and one year in an ACGME-approved surgical critical care fellowship.
