18-19Rotator in 2018/19 (home student) described early intern OR exposure with chiefs leading cases, new daily attending-led morning didactics, strong spine and peds rotations, engaged leadership, extensive research opportunities, and low cost of living.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described strong operative experience across two Level 1 trauma centers (UH and Metro Health), high resident autonomy, a resident-centered culture, and the Allen research fellowship as both an opportunity and a concern given its selection process.

14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described strong resident advocacy from leadership, down-to-earth residents, a forgivable loan for residents living in Cleveland, high trauma volume, and a well-regarded peds facility at Rainbow Children's.
