University of Maryland

hands-on

25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described UMD as an elite-autonomy program — interns operating, PGY-2s doing shoulder arthroplasty approaches without the attending scrubbed, spine residents frequently running rooms, and trauma chiefs at Shock Trauma treated like fellows and running their own rooms. Described as high-volume with wild cases and strong out-of-program rotator traffic at Shock Trauma. Research infrastructure strong but not pushed. Rotators described resident happiness and culture as top-notch.

Maryland

hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described strong overall experience with heavy sub-internship involvement, a well-regarded trauma faculty at Shock, engaged PD and vice PD, and the two-week rotation structure being feasible for letters. Rotator noted significant driving between sites and fellow-heavy spine and trauma services.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described a well-regarded program with Shock Trauma as a major asset, early operative experience including a new PGY2 county rotation, strong subspecialty breadth across F/A at Mercy, peds at Hopkins, D1 sports, and spine. Rotators noted engaged chair and PD and fellow-heavy trauma coverage.
17-18Rotator in 2017/18 noted concerns that trauma OR involvement was limited until PGY5 due to the number of trauma fellows.

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