ing attention to identified barriers such as liability 
reform. 
(2) Also acknowledged in the 2006 IOM report, 
emergency and trauma care is delivered in an inher-
ently challenging environment, often requiring emer-
gency physicians and trauma surgeons to make life- 
and-death decisions with little time or information or 
without a standing relationship with the patient. For 
these reasons, physicians providing emergency and 
trauma care face extraordinary exposure to medical 
liability claims, which are far higher than for those 
physicians who do not provide such care. 
(3) Younger surgeons, who often take the on- 
call shifts at trauma centers, are leaving States with 
the most severe liability problems. For example, ac-
cording to the Project on Medical Liability in Penn-
sylvania, funded by the Pew Charitable Trust, resi-
dent physicians in high-risk fields such as general 
surgery and emergency medicine named malpractice 
costs as the reason for leaving the State three times 
more often than any other factor. 
(4) Further, an American Hospital Association 
study found that more than 50 percent of hospitals 
in medical liability crisis States now have trouble re-
cruiting physicians, and 40 percent say the liability
