Erin Hall, MD, MPH, a practicing trauma surgeon and intensivist, is Associate Professor of Surgery at Georgetown and medical director of the MedStar Washington Hospital Center Community Violence Intervention Program. Her local and national research, much of it supported by grants from DC and Maryland, has focused on elucidating disparities in surgical outcomes, on redefining and assessing outcomes of trauma care, and on the collaborative design, implementation and evaluation of patient-centered yet scalable approaches to improve long term outcomes for trauma survivors and leverage trauma as an entry point to better health for this understudied, underserved, and vulnerable patient population. Her talk will describe her ongoing, discipline-spanning, translational and potentially transformative research on how medical-legal partnerships might integrate with hospital- based violence intervention programs to improve outcomes.
