Project Status:

Recently Completed Projects

Lead Faculty:

Adam Kushner

To determine what components of Alaska’s trauma system might be applicable to low-resource settings and ultimately improve trauma care in low-income countries.  Despite geographic and meteorologic challenges, a dispersed population with multiple cultural differences, and health care resource limitations, the Alaska Trauma System is able to provide quality lifesaving care to injured persons, so it could serve as a model for trauma care in countries facing similar challenges.
