Rotator reports8 reports · paraphrased

mixed hands-on

18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described a hands-off rotation with limited responsibility, no interview during rotation, and mixed impressions of operative autonomy. One rotator noted fellows often dominated cases, while another found residents competent and attendings willing to teach.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described a strong academic program with substantial autonomy at affiliate sites in Queens and the Bronx, high elective volume, minimal double-scrubbing, and subsidized Manhattan housing. Rotators noted themed interview rooms and a demanding interview day.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a relaxed rotation with all time on one service, high elective volume in joints and sports, subsidized housing, and a competitive applicant pool invited back for interviews.
15-16Three rotators in 2015/16 described a nationally prominent academic program with strong hands-on training despite fellow presence, substantial trauma exposure at affiliate sites, subsidized Manhattan housing, and extensive fellowship connections.

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