Lessons from a Trauma Fellowship with Dr. Matt Mackin

James and Rob sit down with Dr. Matthew Mackin for a Trauma-ing episode that digs into his recent trauma fellowship at the legendary R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. Now back home as one of our trauma team leaders and trauma consultants—and bringing his anesthesiology expertise with him—Matt shares what life was really like inside one of the busiest trauma centres in the world. We explore the practices and culture he hopes to transplant into our own system, including a renewed emphasis on subclavian lines during resuscitation, broader use of regional anesthesia, and several other high-impact habits from Shock Trauma’s playbook.
