Rotator reports6 reports · paraphrased
hands-on
  • 20-21Rotator in 2020/21 described well-rounded training with strengths in joints, trauma, foot/ankle, peds, and onc. Senior residents reported running trauma rooms, peds offered broad exposure, and a new 6-year research track with basic science opportunities had been added. Hand, sports, and spine were described as developing areas.
  • 18-19Four rotators in 2018/19 described rotation across 5 hospitals including VA, Riley, Eskanazi, and Methodist, q6 call with post-call day, and strong senior autonomy (PGY5 running trauma rooms). Indiana Hand to Shoulder exposure was described as a strength. Rotators noted some student fatigue among residents, spine as a relative weakness, and new leadership with a forward-looking vision.
  • 17-18Rotator in 2017/18 noted proximity to well-regarded private practices and research groups without strong integration, and an ACGME research-track request that was denied that cycle.

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