Dr. Morse received his MD and did his general surgery residency at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, after which he came to the Emory University School of Medicine and did his surgical critical care residency and trauma fellowship at Grady Memorial Hospital. Upon completion of his postgrad work in 2011, he returned to Greenville and joined the Department of Surgery of the South Carolina School of Medicine. He joined Emory in 2013, and is based at Grady's Level I trauma center. Dr. Morse is certified as an instructor of the ACS Basic Ultrasound for Surgeons and Advanced Ultrasound for Surgeons courses, as well as course director of the ACS Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma course (ASSET). In 2014, Dr. Morse became a site investigator based at Grady for the Surgical Critical Care Initiative (SC2i), a multi-center partnership sponsored by the Defense Health Program of the Department of Defense. The SC2i is charged with translating decision-making tools developed by the DoD for combat casualties to civilian critical care. Dr. Morse collects, stores, and analyzes various types of objective clinical data from trauma patients that have given informed consent. In 2017, Dr. Morse received the Hidden Gem Award from the Emory University School of Medicine in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Emory and beyond. In the nomination materials for the award, Emory Surgery chair Dr. John Sweeney stated, "As chief of the Emory General Surgery B Service at Grady, Dr. Morse has contributed greatly to the hospital's Acute Care Surgery Service. His skills in the operating room are such that he has become known as the go-to surgeon for minimally invasive procedures. As a clinical facilitator, he has been a major bridge builder during the process of merging the Emory and Morehouse trauma services."
