19-20Details withheld for this cycle.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described well-prepared residents, strong fellowship matches, and a supportive PD. Rotators noted lighter overall case volume outside joints/hand at the main site, home call that often meant staying in-house, and limited hospital funding.
17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described a busy interview day with many applicants, a new BIDMC tumor rotation, strong underrated experience at the Baptist and Newton-Wellesley, and a Socratic teaching style.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described long conversational interviews, strong hands-on operative experience especially in joints at NE Baptist, site-specific didactics, 36-hour shifts without post-call days at the main hospital, and light research output.
15-16Rotator in 2015/16 described a smaller program with exposure to multiple practice settings across Tufts MC, NE Baptist, and Newton-Wellesley, engaged teaching faculty, and concerns about trauma depth and the PGY4 Brown block.
14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described strong joints exposure at New England Baptist, rotations across three Boston hospitals, lighter trauma requiring a PGY4 block at Brown in Rhode Island, and a high cost of living.
