Burn & Trauma Injury SIG

Members of the Burn & Trauma Injury SIG – with different experiences, from different centers, and with various levels of expertise – will bring together C-L Psychiatrists and other mental health providers that care for patients with burns and traumatic injuries to advance the clinical, educational, and research aspects of this subspecialty of C-L psychiatry. Our hope is that the work and collaboration fostered within this SIG will serve as a platform for the development and implementation of a more robust and formal subspecialty of C-L Psychiatry dedicated to patients with burns and traumatic injuries.

SIG Chair: Eric Golden, MD
SIG Vice-Chair: Erica Hatch, MD
