Professional Summary:

Dr. Trowbridge is currently a fellow in the University of Michigan Injury Research Center (IRC) where his primary research focus is pediatric motor vehicle safety. He has been working in the IRC with support from an AAAM grant to participate in the on-going evaluation of post-mortem computed tomography as a method of collecting pediatric injury data following fatal motor vehicle crashes led by Dr. Mark Sochor. Dr. Trowbridge is also interested in improving automotive-related anticipatory guidance in pediatric populations. Towards this end, he also recently completed a retrospective analysis of vehicle type as a risk factor for fatal motor vehicle crashes involving teen drivers. In 2005, Dr. Trowbridge was nominated to a 3-year position on the Scientific Program Committee of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM).
