Rotator reports6 reports · paraphrased

UT Austin

mixed hands-on

20-21Rotator in 2020/21 described a newer program with strong resident-attending camaraderie, diversity, and support from the medical school. Rotator noted lighter trauma volume due to surrounding Level II centers and travel between multiple hospitals.

UT Dell

mixed hands-on

25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described Dell as a newer 'privademic' program — roughly 10 Dell-employed attendings with additional private-group volunteers teaching residents. Two 2-week rotations. Trauma volume was described as low (multiple Austin Level 1s splitting cases). Rotators described strong OITE and didactic curriculum but flagged operative volume and autonomy as behind peer institutions. Value-based-care research opportunities available with relatively low-friction involvement. Austin lifestyle described as a major draw.

U Texas - Austin

mixed hands-on

19-20Two rotators in 2019/20 described a partnership with a large private-practice group providing broad exposure, one-on-one attending teaching, protected PGY3 research time, and a 3-month global health elective option. Rotators split on trauma volume, with one reporting concerns about operative emphasis versus research.
18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described Austin as an appealing growing city with engaged leadership and strong operative experience, though the program was still in a building phase.
