Rotator reports9 reports · paraphrased

mixed hands-on

23-24Two rotators in 2023/24 described a 12-residents-per-year program spread across BI, MGH, Brigham, and Boston Children's with variable experience by hospital lottery. Rotators noted substantial elective time allowing mini-fellowships, strong global health, a collegial resident culture, and that operative autonomy requires self-advocacy given program size and fellow presence.
19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described a large program spread across multiple hospitals where residents did not all know each other and accountability varied. Rotators noted strong research output and a recognizable name.
18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described moderate trauma volume at MGH with operative experience comparable to other top academic programs and highly attending-dependent. Rotators noted triple-scrubbing with students on some cases and that experience differed between BWH and MGH.
17-18Three rotators in 2017/18 described a powerhouse program with graduated operative responsibility, strong Wednesday CORE didactics, and a friendly resident group. Rotators noted faculty engagement with teaching varied, operative efficiency was an issue typical of academic centers, and Boston cost of living was high with no subsidy.
15-16Three rotators in 2015/16 described a prestigious, large program with well-regarded faculty, extensive research resources, and strong didactics. Rotators noted heavy fellow presence could compete with seniors for cases and that trauma experience was lighter.
