⚠ Rotators across multiple cycles have reported a relatively low interview conversion rate for away rotators and a mostly-shadowing clinical experience. Applicants should weigh opportunity cost.

24-25Rotators reported a small, tight-knit department with very low hours, primarily clinic with a few OR days. Hands-on vs. shadowing experience varies by attending. Rotators reported being told interviews are granted to roughly 50% of away rotators.
23-24Rotators recommended against the rotation as an interview strategy, citing an approximately 20% interview rate among away rotators that cycle and a primarily shadowing experience. Rotators described the rotation as reasonable if the goal is to see how a smaller program is run, rather than to secure an interview.
22-23Rotators reported being randomly assigned to different services/attendings every half day for the first two weeks, with PD input on second-half preferences. Some OR scrub opportunities (attending-dependent). Optional overnight/weekend call with a resident.

Paraphrased from rotator survey responses. Names and identifying details removed.
