    ALBANY – Dr. Mohammad Choudhary learned first-hand the importance of expert trauma care as a medical student. The New York native attended King Edward Medical University in Pakistan where, because of a shortage of physicians, medical students sometimes took on responsibilities of resident physicians and other care providers. Choudhary vividly remembers a day when he personally had to transport a patient with a severe head injury to the hospital.

    “It showed me the importance of the golden hour – of providing care within 60 minutes of a traumatic injury – and it made me realize the importance of education in the trauma field,” Choudhary said.
