Each burn team member has an extensive background in the treatment of burns. Nurses are specially trained in critical care, as well as certified in Advanced Burn Life Support. As a major teaching hospital for the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine,  medical students and resident physicians complete a rotation in the Center and learn the latest techniques for treating burn victims. This rotation schedule helped MetroHealth's Comprehensive Burn Care Center become one of the first programs in the country to complete a rigorous verification process with the American College of Surgeons and the American Burn Association. In 1995 the Center received verification as a Comprehensive Burn Care Center. The burn team also draws upon the resources of surgeons from a variety of subspecialties including plastic, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery.

Unlike some intensive care units, patients in the Burn Care Center remain with the same team from admission to discharge. Outpatient visits and support group meetings are held in the same environment as acute care so returning patients can experience a continuum of care.
