Rotator reports4 reports · paraphrased

U Nebraska

hands-on

18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described a growing program with strong operative training, a night float system that kept call reasonable, no fellows, and approachable leadership. Interns were seen performing tibial nails and simple trauma cases, and new subspecialty hires were noted.
17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described a mid-size academic program with early and frequent operative exposure, approachable faculty, and a new outpatient surgery center with research labs. Interns often logged 100+ cases, and VA rotations were noted as more hands-off.
15-16Rotator in 2015/16 described a balanced, laid-back midwestern program of 5 per year with close resident camaraderie, a reasonable lifestyle, and a manageable housing market. The program was in the process of expanding to 24/7 trauma coverage and had mixed subspecialty depth at the time.

Nebraska

mixed hands-onIV likely

25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described Nebraska as a family-friendly program with a dedicated daily trauma room at the main hospital, a satellite outpatient surgery center for joints, and strong resident resources (leads/loupes, food stipend). Daily 6am didactics. All rotators are interviewed virtually. Manageable trauma flow; Omaha described as affordable and convenient.
