Rotator reports15 reports · paraphrased

hands-on

23-24Four rotators in 2023/24 reported concerns about workload and culture, describing overworked residents and a mixed sub-internship experience with variable attending engagement. Rotators noted strong trauma training but flagged disorganization and morale concerns.
20-21Rotator in 2020/21 described early operative experience, high trauma volume at Grady, and strong facilities including a new musculoskeletal institute. Rotator noted junior residents appeared stretched, long hours, and considerable driving across clinical sites.
19-20Two rotators in 2019/20 described a trauma-heavy program with strong camaraderie and high operative autonomy for senior residents. Rotators noted very busy consult volume at Grady, spread-out training sites, and a supportive culture between residents and faculty.
18-19Three rotators in 2018/19 described strong operative experience across trauma, spine, and joints, tight resident camaraderie, and expansion to 6 per class. Rotators noted long hours at Grady, heavy consult volume, and a move away from interviewing during the rotation.
16-17Two rotators in 2016/17 described strong operative experience at Grady with minimal double scrubbing, 6 residents per year, and a night float call system. Rotators noted growing research infrastructure, long drive times, and in-rotation interviews at that time.
14-15Three rotators in 2014/15 described a well-regarded program with approachable leadership, close resident-faculty ties, and a heavy Grady trauma experience. Rotators noted the program draws many rotators monthly and clinical sites are spread across Atlanta with traffic.
