hands-on
  • 20-21Two rotators in 2020/21 had mixed impressions. One described strong operative experience across peds, trauma, and hand with engaged leadership and strong fellowship match. The other reported concerns about the unaccredited trauma year, camaraderie, and research culture.
  • 19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described strong residents, solid operative experience, and a well-regarded fellowship match list.
  • 18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described strong resident camaraderie, robust research output, engaged leadership, and a hand department with a national profile. Rotators noted a busy PGY2 year with limited OR time, limited didactics, and some hospital-wide staffing concerns.
  • 17-18Details withheld for this cycle.
  • 16-17Three rotators in 2016/17 described a privademic program with strong trauma, a mentorship model on non-trauma services, and robust basic science research. Rotators noted the 6-year structure with a super-chief trauma year, limited fellow encroachment, and a busy PGY2.
  • 15-16Two rotators in 2015/16 described a strong academic program with close residents, a dedicated faculty, and strong trauma training. Rotators noted the 6-year structure as a major consideration and that Providence is a smaller city than some applicants prefer.
