At Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center (CMC), the flagship hospital of Atrium Health, we provide exceptional patient care and medical expertise. CMC is the region’s only Level 1 trauma center and an approved transplant center for heart, kidney, pancreas, and liver. We are also one of North Carolina’s five Academic Medical Center Teaching Hospitals, with residency training for more than 200 physicians across 15 specialties and a regional campus for Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

The Integrated Enhanced Recovery (ERAS) GI Center of Excellence is composed of a team of physicians, fellows, nurse practitioners, and nurses who provide specialized care to patients with liver, biliary tract, pancreatic, and GI tract diseases as well as surgical trauma care. As an academic center of excellence in ERAS, opportunities exist to collaborate with institutions nationally and internationally to improve patient outcomes.

The nursing department is a specialized unit caring for patients with varying levels of acuity from progressive care, telemetry, and medical‑surgical status. Since these patients will be cared for throughout their entire hospital stay on one unit, individualized care is integrated into daily work. Progressive care unit experience is not required. 11T will be a beacon for clinical advancement and career growth in the field of nursing.

Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) is a research‑based intensive approach to improving patient outcomes by integrating pathways and guidelines with patient care. This method engages the entire team to align work tailored to improve the patient’s outcome, operational excellence of the organization, and the experience of the team. 11T is the country’s first ERAS‑certified unit.
