Rotator reports5 reports · paraphrased

UConn

hands-on

21-22Rotator in 2021/22 described a relatively chill four-week rotation split across a subspecialty service and trauma or peds, few call shifts, and technically proficient residents running bread-and-butter trauma cases as PGY2s walked through by seniors. Strong research availability and solid fellowship match outcomes were noted.

University of Connecticut (UConn)

hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described a 4-week sub-internship split between a UConn specialty service, Hartford Hospital trauma, and CCMC peds. Rotator noted strong facilities, graduated autonomy, impressive resident OR skills, top-10 NIH funding, a 6-year research track, and strong camaraderie.
18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described a strong intern year including an ortho boot camp and two plastics rotations, excellent facilities at UConn and the Hartford Bone and Joint Institute, no in-house call, and rotations split between UConn, BJI, St. Francis, and CCMC. Rotator noted the program size felt less tight-knit and research infrastructure was limited.
17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described a well-regarded program with a new ortho-only Bone and Joint facility, strong operative exposure at Hartford Hospital, and positive resident and PD interactions.
15-16Rotator in 2015/16 noted a well-regarded program with a strong sports reputation.
