The Dr. David S. Mulder Trauma Centre at the Montreal General Hospital of the MUHC is one of only three adult Level One trauma centres in Quebec, and the only one in downtown Montreal. We are one of the busiest trauma centres in the province with over 12,000 patients treated and over 1,500 patients admitted for trauma care each year. Our multidisciplinary team ensures the highest quality, evidence-based and compassionate care for patients. 

The Trauma Centre is at the forefront of trauma care thanks to the dedication of our multidisciplinary team. Our collective vision and culture put the quality of life and needs of our patients and their families at the heart of medical decisions. We are a large group of almost 50 medical and paramedical professionals and colleagues, including around-the-clock trauma team leaders. 

Physical trauma is the leading cause of death among adults under the age of 44. At the Trauma Centre, we specialize in treating serious and life-threatening injuries caused by accidents, violence or impacts. Traumatic injuries can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone – even perfectly healthy people.

Our trauma program has five pillars: enhancing patient care, educating and training future healthcare leaders, advancing research, collaborating with partners to influence health policies, and advocating for injury prevention. Our initiatives are at the local, provincial, national, and international levels.  

Given the importance of injury prevention, we have resources to promote safe behaviours and materials that provide tips and tricks on many topics, including bicycle safety, preventing falls in seniors, and alcohol and trauma. We strongly encourage sharing these with your friends and family.
