Fellowship in Trauma Biomechanics
|
The University of Virginia Department of Emergency Medicine, in collaboration with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is pleased to offer a one year fellowship in Trauma Biomechanics. The Trauma Biomechanics Fellowship links the clinical care of the injured patient with the body of basic science research attempting to prevent injury to vehicle occupants, pedestrians and law enforcement. During this one-year fellowship, fellow will gain clinical experience in the emergency department while gaining laboratory experience at the University of Virginia Center for Applied Biomechanics.
Ongoing research areas include pedestrian injury, thoracic injury mechanisms, pediatric abdominal injury modeling, wave propagation, motorcycle occupant biomechanics and blast biomechanics.
The successful applicant will have completed emergency medicine residency training, will be ABEM board-certified/prepared prior to July 2007 and will have an educational background in mechanical or civil engineering or a related discipline.
