Rotator reports9 reports · paraphrased

hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described a 2-week Ben Taub trauma and 2-week VA split with substantial OR time, hands-on student involvement, friendly residents, and up to 8 overnight calls with post-call days. Rotators noted interviews were offered late cycle and recommended the rotation.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described a busy program with strong operative autonomy, friendly residents, and access to Texas Children's and MD Anderson. Rotators noted minimal OR time in the first two years, Ben Taub trauma dominating the early experience, weaker research than expected, and recent faculty turnover.
17-18Three rotators in 2017/18 described a heavy operative program with strong autonomy in later years, access to MD Anderson and Texas Children's, and emphasis on producing confident operators. Rotators noted floor and clinic focus in early years, developing research infrastructure, and mixed impressions of interview day tone and culture.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a blue-collar program with strong case volume, backloaded operative experience (starting PGY3), high resident autonomy including chief-led cases, close resident group, and limited research infrastructure. Rotators reported Ben Taub provided extensive case variety.
14-15Two rotators in 2014/15 described strong clinical training with extensive trauma at Ben Taub, heavy OR time including overnight cases, and friendly residents. Rotators noted operative experience was backloaded with PGY2s largely doing floor work, and leadership was transitioning with a focus on research and academics.
