Dr. Erin Hall 
 
Dr. Erin Hall is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the 
Georgetown University School of Medicine and is a trauma 
surgeon and critical care physician at MedStar Washington 
Hospital Center. She completed her general surgery residency at 
MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and fellowship in 
trauma/surgical critical care/emergency general surgery at the R 
Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. She has been 
working to apply the principals of public health to trauma and to 
expand knowledge of the needs and long-	term outcomes in this 
population. 
 
Dr. Hall has published her work on center -specific racial 
disparities in live liver donation, racial disparities in cancer risk 
following transplant, and cumulative incidence of cancer following 
transplant. She has also worked to develop new methods for 
measuring disparity in health systems and has continued to pursue her dream of documenting and 
expanding the definition of long-term outcomes of trauma patients. Dr. Hall believes that 
research should be transformative. Her goal is to use her findings to inform policy and practice in 
the trauma community with the ultimate outcome of better health and more comprehensive care 
for trauma patients. 
 
Dr. Hall received her Master’s in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public 
Health where she focused on epidemiology and biostatistics.  GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
