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 position will be housed at Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) located on Fort Bragg, NC, the largest military base in the United States. The EACE Musculoskeletal Injury Research Fellow will primarily interface with the EACE-WAMC/FB team, relevant clinical teams (e.g., physical therapy, orthopedic surgery), and operational units with which the EACE-WAMC/FB are collaborating. The EACE Musculoskeletal Injury Research Fellow will have the unique opportunity to conduct clinical-/field-based research that will have direct impact on the Service member health and medical readiness.
Under the guidance of a mentor, the EACE Musculoskeletal Injury Research Fellow will participate in clinical- and field-based data collections, study participant tracking, data management, data analyses, and assist with the dissemination of project findings and idea development. The two broad areas of research focus will be on the identification and mitigation of primary and secondary musculoskeletal injury risks among active duty Service members. These efforts will involve the use of novel low/no tech field-expedient clinical assessments. The information elucidated from these efforts will be provided back to healthcare providers and other interested stake holders so that targeted musculoskeletal injury risk mitigation strategies can be developed and directly benefit Service members.
