  • 23-24Rotator in 2023/24 described immaculate facilities, extensive research resources, rotations through MD Anderson and Texas Children's, excellent sports exposure, and strong fellowship placement. Trauma rotation in San Antonio as PGY3. Rotators noted limited operative autonomy with significant faculty hand-holding and fellow priority on sports and joints cases.
  • 18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described plentiful research opportunities, excellent subspecialty exposure outside trauma, team coverage for major Houston sports franchises, and down-to-earth faculty. Rotators noted limited trauma volume, with PGY3s spending several months in Austin for Level 1 exposure.
  • 16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a new white-collar program graduating its first class, with early PGY2 operative involvement, one-on-one attending teaching, and a substantial research infrastructure. Trauma rotation handled at UT Houston. Rotators noted the program had limited formal structure.

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