What is the difference between a Trauma doctor and an ER doctor ? And how long does it take to become these types of doctors?|||Trauma is damage to the body caused by an outside force. As opposed to medical, which are problems with the body caused by an inside source. Sometimes these things overlap, normally that's a safe/simplified way to look at it.





Knowing that. An ER doctor is a doctor that is in the ER ward. Which is where ambulances deliver patients too. They deal with the patients that come into the hospital complaining of mostly anything.





Should these patient need immediate care in a life threatening sittuation, what would usually be consider a "load and go" by EMS, then they are taken past the ER and straight to the Trauma ward. At which point the doctors there will handle the patient.|||Trauma is more seriously and typically life threatening. There are far fewer trauma centers than ER's in the country. ER is typically available in every hospital, but Trauma centers aren't very common. I hope this helps.|||ER doctors work in ER Emergency Rooms and Trauma Docs usually have more expertise in their respective medical concentrations i know I've laid quite a few hott Doc's in the elevator
