Rotator reports1 report · paraphrased
hands-on
  • 17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described a small hybrid program rotating primarily with community attendings, strong early operative experience with PGY3s handling bread-and-butter trauma and primary joints as primary surgeon, a mentor-based model with minimal double scrubbing, and weekly didactics. New departmental leadership was starting in the spring.

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