Rotator reports4 reports · paraphrased
hands-on
  • 18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described strong early operative experience with interns completing cases such as tibial nails skin-to-skin, never double-scrubbed except with interns, a county-hospital rotation during PGY3-5, and a night float system during PGY2. Rotators noted the interview day was unusual, resident presence during interviews was limited, and the program appeared in a leadership transition.
  • 14-15Two rotators in 2014/15 described a religiously affiliated program with a pragmatic, high-volume operative training experience, no fellows, never double-scrubbed, and PGY3s running their own service at ARMC. Rotators noted research is available but not emphasized, and the local area is quiet.

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