The Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence (EACE) is the leading advocate for research and treatment of Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) patients with extremity trauma and amputation. The EACE leads efforts to enhance collaboration between the DoD and the VA extremity trauma and amputation care providers and conduct scientific research to minimize the effects of traumatic injuries and improve clinical outcomes (https://www.health.mil/About-MHS/OASDHA/HSPO/EACE). This research fellowship will be housed at the Center for the Intrepid (CFI), Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio Military Medical Center, San Antonio, TX.
The EACE Rehabilitation Research Participant will engage with the Senior Scientist for the CFI Military Performance Laboratory; a laboratory which conducts translational research to enable readiness and return Service Members to high function after extremity trauma (e.g. amputation and complex limb salvage). The EACE Rehabilitation Research Participant will assist the Senior Scientist to determine long term outcomes after patients with amputation or limb salvage. Under the guidance of a mentor, the candidate will support the clinical staff at the CFI to ensure consistent collection of appropriate outcome measures throughout a person’s rehabilitation, determine how to best collect and database these outcome measures for research, and mine the electronic health records to investigate the changes in clinical outcome measures over time with an emphasis on those that have undergone amputation and complex limb salvage.
The selected candidate for this position will need to start work by 30 September. Therefore, please get your applications in as rapidly as possible. The appointment will be for one year. The application link is below:
