Site Visit Application

Please note: We are currently accepting site visit applications for August, September, November and December 2025 and beyond. We are no longer accepting applications for the remainder of 2024 and January–July and October 2025.

If your trauma center’s verification expires in 2024, please email us at cotvrc@facs.org.

New centers will be scheduled based on capacity.

As a reminder, trauma centers that received a 1-year verification extension (COVID-19 extension) should submit their application based on the new expiration date.

• If your hospital does not currently participate in a Trauma Quality Program, please select “Join a Program” on the TQP Participant Hub page.
• If you are already enrolled in a Trauma Quality Program, please log in to QPort and visit the “Site Visit Request” section.

Level I Trauma Centers, please see the Orthopaedic Trauma Leader (OTL) section about additional documentation needed.

In addition to completing the site visit application, all Level I Trauma Centers must also complete the OTL form and return it to the VRC office with a copy of the OTL's curriculum vitae.

Access to the online hospital Pre-Review Questionnaire (PRQ) will be provided upon receipt of the application. The PRQ must be marked "complete" 45 calendar days prior to the confirmed visit dates.

We will do our best to schedule your visit according to your preferred start date. If the preferred date is not possible, the VRC office will contact the trauma program manager to find an alternative. Visit dates may be confirmed up to 90 days prior to the dates requested on the application. If you need to change your requested visit dates prior to the visit being confirmed, please contact the VRC office as soon as possible. Change requests will be considered as availability permits.

Site visits canceled or rescheduled within 90 days of the scheduled visit date will forfeit an annual or site visit fee to cover processing and scheduling costs.
