Rotator reports2 reports · paraphrased

mixed hands-onpresentation req.exam req.

⚠ Rotators described this rotation as a high-stakes audition best suited to applicants specifically targeting the program.

25-26Rotators reported a recent restructure: longitudinal pairing with 2-3 attendings across three weeks, enabling a path to a LOR. Autonomy in clinic and consults scales with ability, comfort, and subspecialty assignment. Faculty described as hands-off unless rotators initiate engagement. Rotators described this as a high-effort audition rotation where individual impressions carry substantial weight.
24-25Rotators described the rotation as primarily shadowing, with no time in resident clinic. Structure: 1-2 weeks on consults and the remainder following attendings.

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