MCW

hands-on

20-21Two rotators in 2020/21 described a well-rounded program with strong trauma, peds, and onc exposure, chiefs running their own trauma rooms, approachable faculty, and an unparalleled tumor service (3 full-time tumor attendings, no tumor fellows). Spine was noted as limited (one attending). Home call without post-call day. Research was identified as a growth area.

Medical College of Wisconsin

hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described early and frequent OR involvement, teaching-oriented faculty, 24-hour PGY2 overnight call with consistent post-call days, and trauma running 2-4 rooms with senior-led autonomy. Froedtert was described as a well-equipped flagship facility.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described rotating on 2 services for 2 weeks each, an interview during the rotation, and preference given to home and rotating students. Rotators reported strong trauma and operative exposure; research was noted as an area of growth with ~50% of cases moving to a hospital 20 minutes away.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described early OR involvement as interns, mostly service-based teams, only two fellows (hand and F/A), a heavy peds focus through Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and approachable faculty. Residents were described as welcoming.
15-16Rotator in 2015/16 described a balanced curriculum well-suited for private practice pathways, with historically lighter spine and hand faculty depth (hand recently expanded).
14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described a solid program with busy trauma. Spine and hand services were noted as lighter at the time.

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