Rotator reports5 reports · paraphrased

hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described strong autonomy, broad case pathology as the only level-1 trauma center in the state, 10 weeks of night float as a PGY2, annual VA rotations, and supportive leadership. Didactics were described as a relative weakness, partially offset by a weekly industry-hosted learning session.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described rotating one week each across trauma, sports, hand/F&A, peds, and joints, strong trauma volume, and a female-friendly environment. Concerns were raised about the number of concurrent rotators.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described residents as notably happy, strong faculty investment in well-being, busy level-1 trauma (only one in the state), strong OR autonomy, and a close-knit outdoorsy culture. Research support was described as improving with a per-publication resident bonus.
14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described a welcoming program culture, strong resident camaraderie, attending-led morning didactics in subject blocks, a resident-run weekly educational session, 2 required research projects, and an active interview day with substantial applicant engagement.

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