Dr. Schwab is currently Professor of Surgery and Chief of the Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care. In 1987, Dr. Schwab established a Level I Regional Resource Trauma Center, Surgical Critical Care Service, the PennSTAR Flight Program and the Communications Center at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. Today, Dr. Schwab’s surgical practice focuses on caring for the severely injured patient and developing regional trauma and emergency care systems. He is one of the first traumatologists to study the effects of trauma in the elderly patient. In addition, Dr. Schwab is active in the field of violence prevention and continues to teach trauma surgeons how to become leaders in the public health effort to reduce firearm-related injuries. He directs the University of Pennsylvania Trauma Network. This involves administrating and coordinating several centers throughout Eastern Pennsylvania with Penn’s Level I trauma center to enhance the quality of trauma and emergency care. Lastly, he directs the fellowship program in trauma surgery and critical care at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, a program with ten trainees annually and over 70 graduates located throughout the world.
