Rotator reports3 reports · paraphrased
mixed hands-onexam req.
  • 25-26Rotators reported the grand rounds presentation is being phased out (required when home students rotate, not required when only away students rotate). Rotation is centered on attending clinic across chosen subspecialties, with one OR day with the PD, one with the chair, and clinic days with the two medical student educators. Limited resident clinic due to VA access. Rotators reported pleasant days, limited OR time for students, and strong didactics.
  • 24-25Rotators described the program as invested in students, with grand rounds presentation opportunities and shadowing across multiple subspecialties.
  • 22-23Rotators reported the rotation structure has shifted over time. Some rotators described half-day attending rotations as limiting for LOR continuity; others reported working with a few attendings repeatedly and getting meaningful face time, including with the med student director, PD, and chair. Case presentation and test at rotation end.

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