With a passion for surgical education, she looks forward to her work with surgical residents and trainees across multiple disciplines. She currently serves as an instructor for the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and Stop the Bleed (STB) courses.
In addition to her clinical responsibilities, Dr. Beattie is committed to research aimed at improving surgical care and outcomes among the traumatically injured. Her research interests encompass trauma outcomes and quality improvement, with particular focus on hemorrhage control, trauma-induced coagulopathy, and resuscitation optimization. She hopes to continue to progress understanding in these areas, with an overarching focus on how pre-existing patient biology and health determinants interplay.
A native of the East Bay, Dr. Beattie is thrilled to begin this new chapter of her career, dedicated to the practice of trauma acute care surgery and research at the hospital of her residency and the community it serves.
