Overview
Mr. Carlini serves as the Director of Informatics for the Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC), a network of clinical sites and a data coordinating center to conduct multi-center clinical research on treatment and outcomes of orthopaedic trauma. Additionally, he serves as project director for several large clinical trials within METRC. Prior to METRC, Mr. Carlini contributed to several large studies of trauma and trauma systems, including the National Study on Costs and Outcomes of Trauma Care (NSCOT), the Military Extremity Trauma Amputation/Limb Salvage (METALS), and the Trauma Information Exchange Program (TIEP). He has extensive experience in coordinating projects and data-centered activities in a multi-institutional research setting.
