I meet someone on what might be their worst day of their life, treat them as I would a family member, and then see them through to their recovery. The most important part of surgery, whether urgent or elective, is often the decision to operate, and I work with patients and their families to come to a collaborative decision about the best path to take. I have a research interest in surgical decision making, and how patients and their families actually come to make a medical decision. I am also interested in clinical research in emergency surgery and trauma, as I feel there is an ethical imperative to test new interventions to improve the quality of surgical and trauma care.CredentialsSpecialtiesSurgical Critical Care - American Board of SurgerySurgery (General Surgery) - American Board of SurgeryEducationPost-doctoral Training & Residency08/01/2018 - 07/31/2019Fellowship in Surgical Critical Care at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center07/01/2012 - 06/30/2018Residency in Surgery (General Surgery) at University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics06/01/2011 - 06/30/2012Internship in Surgery (General Surgery) at University of Wisconsin Hospital and ClinicsVIEW ALL expand_morePublicationsJournal Articles2/2023Shaw MH, Nabozny MJ, Kaufman D.
