Carrie Valdez works in trauma surgery and emergency care, studying topics like chest injuries (such as pneumothorax and rib fractures), abdominal trauma, and pain management after surgery. Her work often focuses on practical clinical questions, such as predicting which injuries need specific procedures, improving trauma protocols, and reducing reliance on opioid painkillers after operations.
Publication output has been low but fairly steady over the last decade, averaging about one paper per year with a slight uptick in 2022 and 2024.
