Learn about what it takes to be a sonographer or if being a trauma surgeon is worth it!

Trauma Surgeon

Trauma surgery is the surgery done after a traumatic injury (surprise!). Broadly, their responsibilities lie in bringing a patient back to life or stabilizing their condition and then dealing with traumatic injuries surgically.

Trauma surgery, much like general, is unique in the surgical specialties where it deals with many parts of the body. Compare this to neurosurgery or cardiovascular, which focuses on specific organs and areas, trauma surgery looks at injuries in the neck, chest, abdomen, and more.

Forensic Nurse

A Forensic Nurse Examiner (also known as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner or SANE) is a nurse who is specifically trained to care for victims of sexual violence. A forensic nurse’s primary role is to collect evidence, offer crisis interventions, provide specialized medical care, and serve as an expert witness in legal proceedings. These nurses often offer the stepping stone between the medical system and the judicial system, combining elements of both nursing and criminal justice.
