Penn State Milton S Hershey

hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described a structured graduated-autonomy model aligned with AAOS educator principles, including heavy consult and approach exposure as a PGY2 and operative autonomy from PGY3. The program's two 10-week PGY2 q2 call blocks were described as intense but predictable, with the morning pimping practice recently scaled back by the chief class.
18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described strong faculty-resident community, supportive leadership, and rural trauma exposure. Rotators noted graduated autonomy with more senior oversight on consults, in-house PGY3 oversight of PGY2, and a one-month private hospital rotation in Harrisburg. Hershey was described as quieter socially.

Penn State

mixed hands-on

20-21Rotator in 2020/21 described a family-friendly program with approachable leadership, only two fellows, low cost of living, and strong fellowship match. Rotator noted limited early surgical autonomy, heavy PA presence in the OR, and a demanding PGY2 call rotation without post-call days.

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