Procedure

Who May Tour the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center

Individuals must be at least 16 years of age to tour the Shock Trauma Center. For individuals less than 16 years of age, presentations will be made to the communities at large. Presentations may include a virtual tour of the Shock Trauma Center and resources. This also applies to high school and college students who do not have an appropriate reason to tour the Center. (Example: appropriate reason would be enrolled in allied-health courses, students pursuing a career in the medical profession).

Size of Group Touring The R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center

Tours will be limited to 10 or less (per tour guide) in respect for the privacy of our patients and to avoid disruption of patient care.

When Tours Are Offered

Tours should be conducted Monday through Friday during regular business hours, 10 am – 4 pm. Tours conducted outside regular hours are considered an exception and discretion should be used when scheduling them. Given the heavy volume of patient activity, tours will be limited during the months of June, July and August.

We no longer offer court-ordered tours. If you have a court-ordered tour request please visit www.umm.edu/DDMP to sign up for the court-ordered DDMP class or call 410-328-2035 for more information.
