Saint Luke's Hospital is a major teaching affiliate hospital for the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine. This is an academic teaching department, and all surgeons have clinical academic appointments with UMKC Department of Surgery. Teaching responsibilities include supervision of the resident staff in the areas of trauma surgery, acute care surgery, and in the surgical ICU. We are currently a state verified Level 1 trauma and have applied for ACS Level 1 verification. Research is an integral part of that mission and all of the surgeons contribute. We have the support of the fourth largest bio-analytical unit in the country and additional research resources are provided by Saint Luke's for this effort. The growth of this department allows for the addition of additional surgeons to continue our mission.
