Rotator reports3 reports · paraphrased
hands-on
  • 19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described 2 weeks on each of 2 specialties with 4 required call shifts, good trauma volume, and impressive chief-level operative skills. Faculty was described as a strength across subspecialties. Fellows were present but operative autonomy for residents remained good. Four hospitals on or near main campus with slow room turnover in the main hospital.
  • 18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described a rising program with an incoming PD transition, a stand-alone orthopaedic facility, trauma with decent volume, and a recent research push. Rotators noted down-to-earth residents who involved students in the OR. Concerns were raised about prior leadership responsiveness and faculty research productivity.

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