These full-time faculty roles offer the opportunity to join an established team of academic acute care surgeons providing trauma, surgical critical care, and emergency general surgery services at ECU Health Medical Center, a nationally verified Level I Trauma Center. The division supports a high-volume trauma program that cares for a broad range of complex and critically injured patients.

As a fully accredited tertiary referral center, it provides comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, rehabilitation, and specialty services to patients across eastern North Carolina and the surrounding region.
