Rotator reports3 reports · paraphrased
mixed hands-onpresentation encouragedexam req.
  • 25-26Rotators reported the rotation rewards rotators who proactively see and work up patients, with no penalty for shadowing in resident clinic. Residents and attendings described as friendly and approachable, though resident workload is heavy given clinical volume. Short end-of-rotation quiz and presentation required. PD and chair described as approachable.
  • 24-25Rotators described most time as spent with residents rather than attendings given program size. Minimal OR time; OR exposure is available on request. Rotators reported the program is not especially oriented toward away rotators and that autonomy scales with comfort level. Experiences with program leadership described as variable.
  • 22-23Rotators reported substantial time at Parkland with residents who allow independent patient workups, plus several attending half-days per week. OR exposure built into the schedule with additional OR time requestable. Opportunity to work directly with the PD. Optional but recommended grand rounds presentation.

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