About Miami Burn Center

The Miami Burn Center, located in the Ryder Trauma Center I Jackson Memorial is one of the leading burn treatment facilities in the nation and the only such center in South Florida. The Miami Burn Center provides a comprehensive team approach to the care of burn victims.

The clinical team, including burn/trauma surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, skilled technicians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, registered dietitians, and psychologists, provides care throughout each patient’s stay.

In March 2008, after completing the rigorous process set forth by the American Burn Association (ABA) and American College of Surgeons, the Miami Burn Center received notice of successful verification by the ABA. This verification demonstrates a continued commitment to the treatment of patients suffering burn injuries and the allocation of resources necessary to ensure the best outcomes.

As of today, there are only five ABA-verified burn centers in the state of Florida.
