Dr. Quincy Tran
As a Professor of Emergency Medicine and Program In Trauma of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I work clinically in the Emergency Department and the Critical Care Resuscitation Unit at the University of Maryland Medical Center. My academic interest is to improve the care for critically ill patients who are in the Emergency Departments. Besides my clinical work, I also manage a Research mentorship program that involves multiple faculty mentors from different institutions, many pre-health undergraduate students and medical students. Our goal is to improve our students’ competitiveness for their applications, while learning the research process.
