Rotator reports4 reports · paraphrased
mixed hands-on
  • 18-19Three rotators in 2018/19 described a trauma-heavy program as the state's only level 1 center, typical four rotators per month, q4 call split among students, a growing peds service, and a paid PGY4 AO fellowship opportunity in Europe. Rotators noted mixed impressions of attending engagement, interview day variability, and most rotators are invited back.
  • 16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a southern community program with an engaged PD, strong didactic curriculum, and a reputation for producing skilled surgeons. Rotator noted front-loaded call with easier PGY3-5 years, limited organized research opportunities, and concerns about the location.

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