Rotator reports5 reports · paraphrased

hands-on

20-21Two rotators in 2020/21 offered contrasting views: one reported concerns about program culture, limited research capacity, and weaker didactics; the other described strong operative volume across trauma, sports, hand, peds, and joints, collegial residents, and supportive attendings willing to write strong letters.
19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described strong trauma and peds rotations with attendings who allowed substantial resident autonomy. Leadership enforces resident operative involvement with attendings in the privademic model, and residents matched into strong fellowships with limited research output.
18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described a smaller program with strong peds, a level-1 trauma center, MSK onc rotation, q-call structure heaviest in PGY2/3, and friendly cohesive residents.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a privademic program split between University Hospital and St. Peter's in New Brunswick, strong operative volume with no fellows and rare double scrubbing, busy level-1 trauma, weaker foot/ankle and joints, and a volunteer faculty model.
