Ian E. Brown, MD, PhD, FACS, a Trauma Surgeon with UC Davis Medical Center
Get to know Trauma Surgeon Dr. Ian E. Brown, who serves patients in Sacramento, California.
An exceptional trauma surgeon, Dr. Brown is an attending physician and Assistant Professor in the Division of Trauma, Acute Care Surgery and Surgical Critical Care at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California. He has a broad interest in trauma with a particular focus on acute coagulopathy and endotheliopathy in trauma. Additionally, he has a strong interest in curbing violence-related trauma recidivism and is a Co-Founder of the UC Davis Wraparound Hospital-based Violence Intervention Program.
“In trauma, often the injuries are much more than the cuts and bruises and fractures. Treating the whole patient requires true empathy and a kind of humility and willingness to consider that it is difficult to completely understand the complexity of another person’s lived experience but essential to try. I like to think that we do much more than procedures and operations and that the impact of our care should extend well beyond when the patient leaves our door” expressed the doctor.
Obtaining his undergraduate degree from Stanford University in 1997, he received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Immunology from the University of Chicago in 2005, and graduated with his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine in 2007. He completed his internship and residency in general surgery at the UC San Francisco Medical Center in 2014, followed by a fellowship in trauma and surgical critical care at the UC Davis Medical Center in 2015.
Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), Dr. Brown is board-certified in general surgery, trauma surgery, and surgical critical care by the American Board of Surgery (ABS). The ABS is an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge.
Trauma surgery is a surgical specialty that utilizes both operative and non-operative management to treat traumatic injuries, typically in an acute setting. Trauma surgeons generally complete residency training in general surgery and often fellowship training in trauma or surgical critical care. They are responsible for treating bone fractures, cuts, internal injuries, burns, and shock. They also perform surgery to repair penetrating and blunt-force injuries.
As a testament to his success, Dr. Brown has been the recipient of the American Surgical Association Foundation Fellowship Research Award (2020), American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, Acute Care Surgery Research Scholarship (2019), and UCSF Azakie-Chesson Award for Compassion in Surgery (2014).\
