He completed general surgery residency and surgical critical care fellowship at University Medical Center in Las Vegas, NV. He has served as Trauma and Critical Care Faculty at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, the University of Southern California/Los Angeles County Hospital and Stanford University.

    Dr. Browder is an accomplished academic trauma surgeon with extensive clinical trauma experience having spent the majority of his career at public service healthcare centers. He is committed to providing compassionate and exceptional care to underserved patient populations and remains very clinically active taking trauma call, rounding on the acute care surgery service, covering the surgical ICU and seeing elective general surgery patients.

    In this varied clinical setting, he teaches medical students, residents and fellows and has received multiple teaching awards. He is committed to excellence in surgical education and has an education degree Masters in Academic Medicine from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. His primary focus is in graduate medical education, having helped start and direct the first officially approved Acute Care Surgery Fellowship while in Las Vegas and serving as the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program Director at Stanford University.

    In addition to his current academic position, Dr. Browder holds several leadership positions in regional and national trauma organizations. Currently he is the Northern California State Vice Chair for the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma and a Council Member for the Northern California Chapter of the American College of Surgeons. After serving on the Santa Clara County Trauma Advisory Committee for three years, he was appointed as the Committee Chair for the past year. In these roles he has worked closely with the Santa Clara County Emergency Medical Services Agency to better treat and understand the impact of traumatic injuries in the Bay Area.

    Dr. Browder’s research interests involve hemorrhagic shock, clinical outcomes following operative trauma and surgical innovation. He has previously held several military grants for medical device development related to hemorrhagic shock resuscitation and novel thermal blanket technology. He was selected for the prestigious Biodesign Faculty Fellowship at Stanford University and has mentored several design teams. Dr. Browder strives to combine his operative trauma experience and medical innovation training into real world solutions for the treatment of traumatic injuries.
