hands-on
  • 18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described early operative autonomy with PGY2s leading total knees skin-to-skin, no fellows, strong benefits with PGY5 moonlighting, and a family-friendly culture. Rotators interview during the sub-internship, and noted limited foot/ankle exposure and a county-hospital setting.
  • 17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described an operative-heavy program with strengths in joints and trauma, a resident-advocate PD, strong fellowship placement, and close resident camaraderie. Rotator noted the older cowboy reputation was described as outdated.
  • 16-17Two rotators in 2016/17 described a work-hard, operative-heavy program with strong early OR experience, R2s running full cases, no fellows or competing surgical residents, a well-regarded PD, and strong OITE scores. Rotators noted foot/ankle as a subspecialty weakness.

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