19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described a close-knit resident group, substantial OR time, and accessible program leadership. Sub-internship call structure was one weeknight per week plus two weekend days, all home call.
17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described a program in transition, rebuilding class size post-Katrina with improved didactics under new chair leadership. Rotation covered four services at one week each, with call split with LSU at UMC. Trauma was the most hands-on; hand was noted as a weaker service.

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