Rotator reports2 reports · paraphrased
mixed hands-onLOR-friendlyIV likely
  • 25-26Rotators reported the program interviews most rotators and prefers applicants they've worked with. Students are paired with a single attending mentor for the month, with optional rotation to other attendings. After-hours eye urgent care (eye ED) is emphasized as a way to meet more of the department. Residents and program leadership described as accessible; easy to schedule time with the PD and chair.
  • 24-25Rotators reported being matched with a subspecialty mentor for the month. A pre-rotation meeting with the PD shapes the attending pairing. Rotators worked 1-on-1 with 2-3 attendings in the subspecialty for the month (strong for LORs), with limited resident exposure unless time was spent after-hours at the eye ED.

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