New York Univ / Hospital for Joint Diseases

mixed hands-on

23-24Rotators in 2023/24 had mixed impressions. One described a spread-out but supportive program; another reported concerns about culture, hierarchy, and limited early OR exposure. Rotators noted strong research and fellowship placement.
21-22Rotator in 2021/22 described a large, academically rigorous program with a well-read resident cohort and strong research output. Rotator noted a clear hierarchy, that faculty can be demanding, and that operative experience appeared back-loaded toward senior years.
19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described an established program with strong faculty, unique case exposure, and a diverse residency class. Rotator noted the program is hierarchical, operative experience can be back-loaded, and junior residents see limited OR time on some services.
18-19Four rotators in 2018/19 described a well-organized sub-internship with no in-rotation interview and strong rotator preference. Rotators noted a structured hierarchy, strong research and trauma volume, and variable operative autonomy by service.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described a large, hierarchical powerhouse program with a resident-heavy rotator culture, plentiful research opportunities, and high trauma volume. Rotators had mixed impressions of fit and noted work-intensive junior years.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a large, hierarchical program with strong trauma and resident-run services across HJD, Bellevue, Tisch, and Jamaica. Rotator noted heavy junior workload, strong research output, attending-led didactics, and a team-based culture.
15-16Three rotators in 2015/16 described a large, ambitious program with strong trauma volume across multiple NYC hospitals, a research-heavy culture, and a rotator-heavy match. Rotators noted the program emphasizes fit and favors rotators for spots.
14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described a strong program in a dense urban location and noted that rotation and research experience were seen as important for matching.

NYU Langone

mixed hands-on

25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described the largest ortho program in the country (20 co-rotators), with team assignments texted the night before and 6:30am team meetings 2-3x weekly. Wednesday didactics are shared with residents. Business-casual/white-coat required outside the OR. Rotators noted welcoming residents and a supportive experience, but flagged the program's hierarchy and Manhattan environment as best-suited to self-directed applicants.
