Rotator reports9 reports · paraphrased

University of Tennessee- Memphis

mixed hands-on

19-20Two rotators in 2019/20 described mixed experiences: one rotator reported a positive 4-week rotation split by attending/service with good access to faculty, strong resident competence, and reasonable hours outside of trauma. Another rotator described the rotation as largely shadowing in clinic with limited hands-on involvement and noted variable resident engagement. Faculty letter-writing was available with several well-known attendings.
18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described a privademic program tied to the UT system and run by Campbell Clinic, with heavy trauma training (6 months as a PGY2, 3 months every other year), strong peds and sports, and nationally recognized faculty supporting fellowship placement. The rotator role was largely shadowing, and not all rotators were interviewed. Weaker areas included spine, tumor, and possibly hand, and the community trauma hospital was noted as operationally dated.

Campbell Clinic

hands-on

20-21Rotator in 2020/21 described strong fellowship connections, high operative autonomy with competent PGY3-5s, approachable program leadership, and a new surgery center. Rotator noted heavy overnight trauma at Regional One and a fellow presence mostly limited to trauma.

U Tennessee

hands-on

18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described a large, high-volume program with heavy trauma at The Med, strong peds reputation, ample research support, and significant resident autonomy. Rotators noted not all rotators are invited to interview, fellows present across services, and demanding call with no post-call days.
16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a program with a blue-collar atmosphere, strong trauma training, high resident autonomy, and a well-regarded PD. Rotator noted significant driving between sites as a downside.
15-16Two rotators in 2015/16 described a historic program with a well-regarded reputation for resident autonomy, strong trauma experience at The Med with 24-on/24-off PGY2 schedule, and a mix of academic faculty with private-practice balance. Rotators noted Memphis as a drawback for some applicants.
